...kept recordings of the assaults as trophies.

Sounds like what prosecutors like to call "evidence."

I hate people accused of being a serial rapist when they hide behind a rosary.

PE has been getting a lot of bad press lately.

They were instrumental in the rape of American businesses like Sears and Toys “R” Us.

Now their executive has been accused of actual rape.

I hate people accused of being a serial rapist when they hide behind a rosary.

I have no idea what that means or what it has to do with the article.

[Bubba_Leroy]

We need to be more tolerant of alternate lifestyles. Violent rapists and murderers have needs too, just ask the democrats who are fighting to import more of them.

I’m suspicious of any case brought by New York prosecutors.

It’s all the rage!

[FlingWingFlyer]

The guy is wearing a rosary around his neck when he is taken to jail.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Thanks. Wearing a rosary as jewelry is a sacrilege in and of itself.

[healy61]

He held a cross in his hands, behind his back. I think that was the commenters source.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Who does he think he is? Shannon Sharpe?

[mewzilla]

If the perp did it,, I’m wondering how much they knew and let him get away with before they dropped the hammer.

Somebody needs to get a federal judge on this case! The poor fellow clearly just needs a few sensitive females to understand his deeply felt needs—and the rights that follow from those needs.

[PAR35]

I’m wondering how much they knew and let him get away with before they dropped the hammer.

Or whose daughter, wife, or sister was a guest of his.

[pierrem15]

Private equity? Guess he decided to go from raping corporate persons to real ones.

I found this....

A 43-year-old private equity and venture capital executive based in NYC, known for founding Madison Park Capital Advisors in 2013. He has managed diverse portfolios, including real estate, green energy, and technology startups, and holds degrees in Drama, Philosophy, and a JD/MBA from Hofstra University. Hemphill was also involved in philanthropy, notably with the United Nations and arts education programs.

Jeepers, almost like the movie “American Psycho”.

[alternatives?]

He doesn’t look very physically attractive. Do you think he was financially attractive?
