Ryan Hemphill, a private equity executive and lawyer, faces a 116-count indictment, including predatory sexual assault, for allegedly torturing six women in his New York City apartment. Prosecutors claim he used violence, drugs, and psychological manipulation to control his victims, some of whom he met on dating websites, while threatening them with dire consequences if they reported him. Hemphill has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail due to concerns he may flee, given his wealth and resources.
