一名富有的纽约市私募股权高管在五个月的时间里强奸并折磨了至少六名女性，曼哈顿地区检察官办公室的检察官周四表示，他们担心这些女性只是“冰山一角”
瑞安·亨菲尔(Ryan Hemphill)在一份116项指控的起诉书中被控犯有多项掠夺性攻击、强奸和其他罪行，指控他让妇女遭受“长达数小时的怪诞身体和性暴力折磨”，包括用电击项圈和赶牛棒实施电刑、心理折磨以及强迫妇女摄入各种受管制物质。
赫姆菲尔自3月3日以来一直被监禁，但起诉书于周四启封，当时赫姆菲尔戴着镣铐穿着米色工作服出现在法庭上，否认有罪。
他的律师说他没有逃跑的危险，但是法官安妮·舍尔泽按照检察官的要求，还押他不得保释。
助理地方检察官米拉·科泽说:“起诉书中的行为确实令人震惊。”。
Curzer说，Hemphill在Seeking、Sugardaddy和Craigslist等网站上遇到他的受害者，强迫或诱骗他们中的一些人摄入各种受管制的物质，并让一些受害者坦白他们过去的性创伤，以便他可以有目的地重演他们。
“他享受他们的痛苦和恐惧，”柯泽说。
检察官表示，调查人员发现被告的公寓“布满了摄像头”，一些图像描绘了头部和面部缠有胶带的女性被施以水刑。“他把这些录像作为战利品保存着，”科泽说。
检察官还表示，侦探恢复了视频片段，表明可能有数十名，如果不是数百名女性受害。“我们有理由相信可能有更多的受害者，”地方检察官阿尔文·布拉格说。
据称Hemphill告诉妇女，他是“碰不得的”，因为执法和有组织犯罪的联系，但布拉格说，没有证据表明他也有。
“他告诉他们，他有很深的关系，这使他无法触及，”布拉格说。"显然，他错了。"布拉格说，亨菲尔展示了一个“一贯的，突出的主题”——让女性遭受数小时的性暴力。
Private equity executive charged in 'grotesque' sex case: 'Tip of the iceberg'
A wealthy New York City private equity executive raped and tortured at least six women over a five-month period and prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney's office said Thursday they fear those women are only the "tip of the iceberg."
Ryan Hemphill was charged in a 116-count indictment with multiple counts of predatory sexual assault, rape and other offenses that accused him of subjecting women to a "multi-hour ordeal of grotesque physical and sexual violence," including electric torture with shock collars and cattle prods, psychological torture and forcing women to ingest various controlled substances.
Hemphill has been incarcerated since March 3, but the indictment was unsealed Thursday as Hemphill appeared in court in shackles and a beige smock to plead not guilty.
His attorney said he is no flight risk, but Judge Anne Scherzer remanded him without bail, as prosecutors requested.
"The conduct in this indictment is truly shocking to the conscience," assistant district attorney Mirah Curzer said.
Curzer said Hemphill met his victims on websites like Seeking, Sugardaddy and Craigslist, forced or tricked some of them to ingest various controlled substances and made some of his victims confess their past sexual traumas so he could purposefully reenact them.
"He enjoyed their pain and fear," Curzer said.
Prosecutors said investigators found the defendant's apartment "full of cameras" and some of the images depicted women who were waterboarded with duct tape wrapped around their heads and faces. "He kept the videos as trophies," Curzer said.
Prosecutors also said detectives recovered video footage that suggests there may be dozens, if not hundreds, of women who were victimized. "We have reason to believe there may be additional victims," District Attorney Alvin Bragg said.
Hemphill allegedly told women he was "untouchable" because of law enforcement and organized crime connections, but Bragg said there's no evidence he had either.
"He told them he had deep connections that made him untouchable," Bragg said. "Clearly, he was wrong." Bragg said Hemphill demonstrated a "consistent, salient theme" -- subjecting women to hours of sexual violence.
