Sex-cult enabler gets jail

4 years for Ray pal

Isabella Pollok, a former Sarah Lawrence College student who fell under the influence of sex-cult leader Larry Ray, was sentenced to more than four years in prison Wednesday for conspiring with the fiend as he carried out the abuse of a group of young people.

Pollok, 31, pleaded guilty to a single count in September for participating in a moneylaundering conspir- acy with Ray, who raked in millions of dollars by forcing one of his victims into prostitution for a number of years.

“Your crime was an extremely seri- ous one,” Judge Lewis Liman told Pollock before handing down the 54-month sentence in Manhattan federal court. “It lasted a long time. It caused immense harm to its victims, destroying lives in the process.”

“It involved extreme and sadistic violence and it was sophisticated,” Liman added.

In a tearful statement before she was sentenced, Pollok — who will also be required to serve three years of supervised release after she completes her prison term — said she supported Ray because he “controlled me in ways I cannot understand.”

“I will live with the guilt forever . . . . I am ashamed. I deeply regret it. I am truly sorry,” she said as her voice broke and she sobbed.

A victim, too

Prosecutors had asked Liman to sentence Pollok (inset) to a maximum of 60 months in prison, but acknowledged in a sentencing submission that she was also a victim of Ray.

But, they added, Pollok grew close to Ray as he exerted tyrannical control over a group of college students and other young people — and exploited her position to insulate her from the worst of his abuse.

Ray was sentenced to 60 years in prison in January.

Attorneys for Pollok urged Liman to impose a nonprison sentence, arguing she was groomed and tortured by Ray during her time under his control.

Pollok was released on her current bail conditions Wednesday and will surrender to federal prison on April 25.
