U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
Cynthia Pollok hasn’t seen her daughter Isabella in a decade.
She had hoped to change that next month, when Isabella’s trial was set to start. The 30-year-old was indicted by federal prosecutors in 2021 for allegedly conspiring with convicted sex-cult leader Larry Ray, 62, to prey on others at New York’s Sarah Lawrence College.
But Pollok’s plan was dashed on Wednesday, when Isabella—a former student once portrayed as a young, impressionable victim of Ray’s—pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a charge that could put her away for up to five years.
