Summary
A high-profile businessman stands trial on shocking rape and sexual assault charges, allegedly committed in 2023 after a night of drugs and alcohol. The alleged victim, decades his junior, claims he assaulted her during a meeting about her returning to work — and later punched him, calling him a “f--king rapist.” His chilling response? “She broke my nose… it’s not rape, I was using my fingers.” The case began when the woman’s mother called police after cryptic texts — the woman reportedly declined to speak, saying she was safe. The businessman denies all charges, with the defense painting him as a charming, sober man trying to get her to leave, while the prosecution’s fate rests on the jury believing her. The trial is far from over. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
