this is just a bizarre case.. he has 21 women claiming that he drugged and raped them after some of them meeting him on match.com and yet a lot of them went out with him a few more times.. the psychiatrist claims that since the women were drugged and he was so nice to them at morning time they doubted whether or not it had been rape and so they tried to form relationships to sort it out or something.. i dont know but that sounds um really weird but i know people act bizarre after trauma so maybe its not that uncommon..
no matter what what are the chances of 21 women claiming rape and describing it the same way?? sigh.. the article goes on about how rape cases arent very successful which is so depressing since rape is so awful..

How awful!
A woman I know, coincidentally with the middle name Leigh as well had a similar experience in London.
She had met this guy on-line and they agreed to meet in a restaurant. All dolled up and excited she was and arrived early at the restaurant. Waiting for her table at the bar, she struck up a conversation with the female bartender and confided in her about her date.
And after a fine meal and great conversation she stepped out to powder her nose. The liqueurs had arrived when she returned. Quickly finishing her liqueur she blacked out. The apologetic man was settling up and ready to leave the restaurant with Leigh when the female bartender raised the alarm.
The man ran before the police arrived. He had paid cash, so there was no trace.
Moral of the story according to Leigh; if you date some one you met online, make sure that someone else knows what is happening.

it turns out he was posing as a doctor thank god but i left the subject with doctor in it because of the website having it there.. i think he posed as a doctor more often than other things.. and even showed up at a victims room at a hospital posing as one

Not just trauma, but women have been conditioned to think the best of people. Sadly men take advantage of this by 'buying them off' with kindness after they've committed unspeakable crimes against them. It's sad and it's sick, and it's way too common in this crazy mixed up world.

I don't know about that, 21 people are a lot of people. I just hope justice is really served in this case.

This is insane. It's sad too that this man attacked so many women and no one is convicting him of any crime. I don't get it. It's funny how some people, the ones that are obviously guilty of a crime never get convicted and walk free! And yet we seem to put innocent people behind bars on a daily basis.

they proved he was faking the doctor thing even though he visited one lady in the hospital etc.. i guess he said he was a lawyer too.. scary though that he used a doctor as a cover so that people would think he is successful and less harmful
