A Colorado cardiologist was put behind bars for drugging and sexually assaulting women. One of his victims, named Audrey, says it happened on her first date with Dr. Stephen Matthews. After she came forward to tell her story, ten more women found the courage to accuse Dr. Matthews. Prosecutors say there are likely dozens more victims staying in the shadows. Matthews was found guilty of 35 charges. He wept in court before being sentenced to 158 years in prison.

(323 posts)which is why hes so shocked and upset now. He fully expected to get away with it. The only reason hes crying is because he got caught and because of the sentencetheres absolutely no remorse here.

One hopes that lack of access to women will provoke the self reflection he should probably have started to do in high school.

to press charges and go to court. Those in the shadows must have been so relieved to see other women come forward.
Rape is a power trip, drugging women into unconsciousness to do it is another level of power, and serial rapists are addicted to it.
Throw away the key on this one.
