“There is no reason to believe Mr. Ray will age out of criminal behavior,” Liman said. The judge further noted that the crimes began in 2010 after he moved into his daughter Talia’s on-campus housing.  Ray charmed his victims with his “exaggerated sense of self” and his intelligence before “robbing them of their relationships, self worth, memories and then their bodies” after convincing them they had poisoned him and owed him for it, the judge added.

Ray reportedly got into a romantic relationship with Felicia. He forced her to live with him, his daughter and co-conspirator Isabella Pollok in a New York City apartment.

Yalitza was initially made to believe that she and Ray were friends. He convinced her that she had destroyed his property and tried to poison him and his daughter.
