    As Hemphill got to know the women, he convinced them to confide their past sexual traumas, which he then deliberately reenacted as he assaulted them, Curzer said. He took advantage of some victims’ inexperience, the prosecutor said, or crossed boundaries that victims had clearly articulated

    You could attach pretty much any heinous act imaginable to a private equity executive and my reaction would always be the same: “Yeah, that tracks.”

    Private equity firms are a parasitic scheme that needs to be abolished and banned.

    This asshole, and others like him, is why women choose the bear in that woods scenario.

    I hope he gets the full extent of the law and prison treats him with the same respect he provided these women.

    “Private equity executive” might as well be read as “shittiest scum of the earth”

      Hey hey, the Barnacle never tortured a woman. He just gaslighted them severely and caused irreparable harm to their mental state, but never physically tortured them.
