PHILADELPHIA A man who faked being a doctor, an astronaut and a spy to dates he met online was convicted Wednesday of two counts of sexual assault but acquitted of raping several women who accused him of drugging them.
Seven women, six of whom Jeffrey J. Marsalis met through the Match.com dating site, told similar stories of blacking out or becoming unusually intoxicated during dates from 2003 to 2005.
The jury reached its verdict on the fifth day of deliberations that were so contentious jurors were overheard shouting at each other earlier in the week. He was acquitted of eight rape counts and a count of impersonating a public servant.
Marsalis could get up to 20 years in prison for the two sexual assault counts at sentencing, set for Sept. 18. The jury could not reach a verdict on one rape count.
Prosecutors said Marsalis, 34, of Philadelphia, was a smooth talker with a tony address and a penchant for chic bars and restaurants. The on-and-off nursing student spun tales about being a doctor, an astronaut or a secret agent.
The women, most of them well-educated professionals, gave authorities similar accounts of meeting Marsalis and then feeling unusually intoxicated after returning from the bathroom or letting him buy a round of drinks from the bar. They testified they woke up hours later at his apartment groggy, sometimes undressed after an apparent sexual encounter or even amid intercourse.
Marsalis' lawyer said the women were suffering from "buyer's remorse" after being duped about his accomplishments and dumped after consensual sex. Defense attorney Kathleen E. Martin said none of the victims went to police or a hospital afterward and were only sought out by police as part of an earlier case against Marsalis.
Marsalis was acquitted of three similar assaults in January 2006 and immediately charged in the latest cases. Another rape charge is pending against him in Sun Valley, Idaho.
Records show Marsalis has moved frequently, having lived in Park City, Utah; the Phoenix area, where he worked as a paramedic; a Seattle suburb; and South Florida.

I can believe it. I've been on a jury.
"Jane, you ignorant slut"...SNL

And what did you say you did again??????
From the movie True Lies.
Jamie Lee Curtis played Arnold Schwarzeneggar’s wife in True Lies. Arnold was a US Government superspy who posed as an insurance salesman or something like that (his cover for missions was that he was at an insurance convention and she bought it). Bill Paxton played a used car salesman that tried to pick up women by pretending to be a spy on a dangerous mission. He tries to lure JLC into an affair with the scam and almost tricks her into a tryst by appealing to her sense of duty to her country.
Full physicals, at discount of course, with appropriate health tips too.
Swoon!
same can be said of men....if they just thought with their big head instead of their little one, they would be much happier....
but try telling a guy dating a stripper .....he really really thinks she likes what she does and she never really really had her boobs pumped up....
nope...and she's going to look the same as she does now in 20 yrs....LOL
Thank you. I didn’t recognize Jamie Lee, looking so young!
I suppose we could summarize by saying, “The earlier in life you Get a Grip, the happier you’ll be in the long term.”
