Manhattan prosecutors have unveiled shocking allegations against RYAN HEMPHILL, a 43-year-old private equity executive and lawyer, accusing him of using a New York City apartment as a torture chamber where he allegedly raped, assaulted, and psychologically tormented six women. HEMPHILL has pleaded not guilty to a 116-count indictment, which includes charges of predatory sexual assault and other crimes dating back to October 2022. If convicted, he faces life in prison.
According to prosecutors, HEMPHILL lured his victims through dating websites such as Seeking.com, SugarDaddy, SugarDaddyMeet, FetLife, and Craigslist, offering them money for sex and companionship. Authorities revealed that he sometimes paid the women with counterfeit cash. To conceal his crimes, HEMPHILL allegedly threatened his victims, falsely claiming to have extensive resources and connections to law enforcement and organized crime.
The details of the case are harrowing. Investigators discovered that HEMPHILL‘s apartment was equipped with multiple surveillance cameras, capturing images of dozens, if not hundreds, of women, many of whom were naked and blindfolded. Manhattan Assistant District Attorney <
