Ryan Hemphill, who remains jailed after his arrest last month, pleaded not guilty to a 116-count indictment charging him with predatory sexual assault and other crimes dating to last October. The 43-year-old, who is also a lawyer, threatened to have victims arrested or disappeared in a bid to keep them silent, prosecutors said.
“The defendant told these survivors that he was untouchable,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said. “The indictment makes clear that he was wrong.”
Hemphill’s apartment, near the Empire State Building, was outfitted with numerous surveillance cameras, and investigators have recovered images showing dozens, if not hundreds, of other women, many of them naked and blindfolded, Curzer said.
Investigators also found hundreds of bullets and high-capacity magazines, and a large amount of drugs, including heroin, cocaine, amphetamines, and fentanyl, prosecutors said.
This guy is a monster.

You had me at the first quarter of that headline
A jury found him innocent of beating his girlfriend in 2015. He said that he was just really into kinky sex. The jury bought it. And here we are. Potentially hundreds of victims in.

Well, he is into “kinky” sex. His partners… not so much.
The system works! /s
I was curious what firm, looks like he is the founder of Madison Park Capital Advisors.
Disturbingly, he was VP of the Public Justice Foundation.
He also was the CFO for UN Peacekeeping where he developed a school for young women in Gaza. I’d say this should be investigated, but with Israel doing a genocide, who knows if those ladies are around to tell their story.
He’s also been involved with the Bronx Opera Children’s program… So seems like something else that should be looked into.
Predators often hide among charity efforts. It gives them cover, power and easy access to victims.
Yup, that was what jumped out at me too. Dude was 100% using charity as a cover to surround himself with vulnerable potential victims.
Sort of sounds like a problem that could be solved with a sealed oil barrel and the Hudson river TBH…
because that might be where the prison transport van gasses up before driving him to prison.
Often you’ll realize good is done by the root of evil. The root of evil is our want, for in that wanting we induce suffering on ourselves or others. The hope is that our actions will be beyond us, constructive.
What a vile and wicked man.
To El Salvador with him
Don’t legitimize Trumps illegal deportations.
Where they’ll hire him as a consultant.
American Psycho
LMFAO
He couldn’t hire an attorney for his case and ended up with a public defender. Turns out THERE ARE some things you can’t buy.
I wonder if this is a plan to get his likely conviction overturned at a later date for “ineffective counsel”
Imagine this psychopath getting less than Luigi…
As Hemphill got to know the women, he convinced them to confide their past sexual traumas, which he then deliberately reenacted as he assaulted them, Curzer said. He took advantage of some victims’ inexperience, the prosecutor said, or crossed boundaries that victims had clearly articulated.
Interesting that you bring up Luigi…
Just checking, does the U.S. perform executions for non-capital crimes?
Well, very technically, theres no such thing as (formal) executions for non-capital crimes. If there were, they’d be called capital crimes.
Yeah, because he’s the benchmark now. He (allegedly) killed 1 person and they want to convict him as the worlds greatest terrorist, parading him around like he’s worst of the worst. And then here we have a serial abuser who was torturing hundreds of women for years.
He’s deliberately being as vile as possible. He’s truly is filth.
Trump administration material for sure.
I can already smell a pardon coming up.
They can only pardon federal crimes
Don’t forget that they don’t give a shit.
Believe it or not. Also pardoned. /s
I imagine most people in Private equity are like this.
I knew a lawyer who thought he was working too hard, tried investment advising for a few months and returned to practicing law because he said it’s more honest.
Nice cross dude
I can’t help feeling that there’s a message there
Man there truly are villians out there.
Is he a good or bad guy by modern USA standards? Sorry, everything is changing so fast there…
Pretty sure MAGAs are calling for him to become the new pope
Can we skip all the trial and investigation part up to were the cunt pardons him? The outcome will be the same, but you’ll save some taxpayers money.
Presidential pardon power only hits federal crimes, not state.
I don’t think Trump can pardon these charges because they’re from the Manhatten DA’s office.
