“Robert Berchtold kidnapped me when I was 12, and again when I was 14. And with that, my brainwashing began,” Jan Broberg says in the trailer for the documentary "A Friend of the Family: True Evil."

Following two alleged kidnappings, Jan Broberg is involved with the Peacock series "A Friend of the Family," which dramatizes her alleged experience with Robert Berchtold.
Larry Ray gained the trust of his daughter’s friends by regaling them with stories of his successful past and taking an interest in their lives. According to authorities, he then used his influence to torment most of them for years.

The upcoming Peacock documentary "Sex, Lies and The College Cult," will delve into how Lawrence Ray was able to move into his daughter's college dorm, gain psychological control of her friends and form a sex cult.
