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.
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.
