A Denver cardiologist has been sentenced to 158 years in prison for drugging and raping several Colorado women he met on dating apps.
The sentencing judge castigated 36-year-old “narcissistic monster” and former doctor Stephen Matthews at his Friday hearing for luring 10 women to his west Denver townhouse, spiking their drinks and then raping eight of them between 2019 and 2023, according to CBS News.
“Evidence in this case is overwhelming,” Judge Eric Johnson said, addressing the convicted creep directly. “You have diminished this world.”
Former cardiologist-turned-serial rapist Stephen Matthews has landed life behind bars.
Matthews’ victims and their families met the longer-than-life sentence with applause — as nearly two dozen people, including survivors of his heinous assaults, read emotional victim-impact statements in court.
“We are now a powerful army of survivors — and you are nothing,” one of his victims said, adding that the former physician was a “narcissistic monster” and a “serial rapist.”
A jury convicted Matthews in August of raping the women, whom he met on dating apps such as Hinge and Tinder, CBS said.
Many of Matthews’ victims said they could only remember bits and pieces of what happened after having drinks with the dastardly doctor — while some testified that when they came to, they found themselves naked in bed with him.
The women told the court that the accused would then “gaslight” them into thinking that whatever happened was their fault by, for instance, saying they’d drank too much or couldn’t hold their liquor, the station said.
They also spoke about how his crimes have left them battling anxiety, depression, paranoia and other issues.
Matthews was sentenced to 158 years for drugging and raping a number of women.

May his time behind bars be brutal.
Release him into the general population (GP) and provide the GP with the reason for his incarceration. Sooner or later, they’ll take care of the problem.
He was doing heart research.
I can hardly wait for the Netflix special... Afterwards, everybody will be calling for his release... Just like those murdering bastards the Menendez brothers.
What is “luring 10 women” ? How is “luring” women to his home different from inviting women to his home …to which the women clearly agreed ?
If they dont know already, the guards will let them know.
That happens a lot more than people know
To lure is to entice or bait someone. A lure is used to bait or entice fish to attach themselves to your hook.
Wiki --> According to Sigmund Freud's theory of id, ego and superego, which he introduced in 1920, Mr Hyde is the id which is driven by primal urges, instincts, and immediate gratification, the superego is represented by the expectations and morals of Victorian society, and Dr Jekyll is the rational and conscious ego which acts as a balance between the id and superego. When Jekyll transforms into Hyde, the ego is suppressed, and the id is no longer held back by either the ego or the superego.
(the 1941 film adaptation with Spencer Tracy, Ingrid Bergman, and Lana Turner is excellent -- I watched it a month ago)
It was stupid of the guy to drug these women. It’s illegal and a crime. He should have known. But the article makes it sound like these women were angels who had no idea where they were going and for what purpose. “Luring” is what a homosexual pervert would do to innocent little boys to take them to his lair. Adult women on dating apps don’t need luring. They will go on their own.
Schrödinger’s cat. Women are simultaneously empowered powerful and helpless naive children.
All that education to become a cardiologist and he threw it all away.

His heart just wasn’t in cardiology.
(Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)
It’s an element of the crime to lure someone to suffer something negative. It shows intent, pre-meditation, etc.
Whether the women are angels or devils has no bearing on anything in this situation.
He’ll be eligible for parole...when he’s 114...
Because he invited the women into his home under false pretenses, it is appropriate to refer to this as "luring."
He was luring them into a trap.

.....”He succeeded in getting a lot of women to his apartment”.......
Why would they be so foolish as to go to his apartment?.... “Fools rush in”
Most women know you don’t risk going to a guys apartment.
