The dude is horrible and the dorm resident assistants must have known he was there. Fuck all of them, and I'm glad this guy is dying in jail.

One stat stands out, almost worthy of r/theydidthemath :

>She became a sex worker to try to pay reparations to him, giving him $2.5 million over four years in installments that averaged $10,000 to $50,000 a week.

That is an astounding amount of sex work, if she was not dipping into family money. How did she have time for school?

There must have been more to the story. A (series?) of almost-Ivy League college students are convinced by this rat turd to pay him reparations? For ostensibly poisoning him?

Uh... no. All it would take is one of these women to call the family lawyer, or have her mom call them, and this would all be over.

And to have this scheme continue once he'd moved to NYC? I can only guess that his law enforcement connections were somehow involved, to keep these women in line.

Just sounds way too hinky.

You're assuming they were doing this against their will. From what I remember the last time this case made headlines, this was one of those guys with crazy amounts of charisma; he basically brainwashed them all into his own personal sex cult. Like a modern day Charlie Manson.

RAs are generally college kids and frequently those college kids that could use help affording housing. They also generally don’t have much real authority. I’d put them very low on my blame list. However, the administrators of housing, student life, and the overall university absolutely have a lot to answer for.

If I recall the info from the article in The Cut, this was after she was done with school (or maybe dropped out). She was charging $8k per session.
