Raymond Rodio operated the ring for about four years and victimized more than 20 women
NEW YORK — A Long Island man ran a prostitution ring out of his elderly parents’ sprawling suburban home, enticing women with drugs and locking them in a basement where he forced them to use a bucket instead of a bathroom, prosecutors said Thursday.
Rodio pleaded not guilty Thursday to sex trafficking, promoting prostitution and other charges. He remains jailed because he hasn’t posted $1 million cash bail or $2 million bond. From the outside, Rodio’s parents’ home appears typical of Sound Beach — a quiet, waterfront community about 60 miles east of midtown Manhattan on Long Island’s north shore. Recent photos show a half-dozen American flags in the home’s spacious, meticulously manicured yard. There are birdhouses, wagon wheels and a driveway basketball hoop.
