A Georgia tourist was repeatedly raped by a “predator” who lured her to his tony Greenwich Village brownstone with promises of stunning views of the Empire State Building, police sources told The Post.

The 41-year-old victim was approached by Benjamin Gordon, 42, on the street, and he convinced her to go to a Manhattan bar with him just after midnight Monday, the sources said.

After one drink, Gordon invited her to see the view from the multimillion-dollar apartment he shares with his fiancée on leafy Washington Square North, the sources said.

“He appears to be a predator,” said one police source. “They didn’t have a dinner-and-dance-type night. They had one drink, and it was, like, ‘Do you want to see the sights?’ ”

Once inside the apartment, the woman got spooked and told Gordon she was leaving. But he stopped her and asked, “Have you ever been violated before?” sources said.

Then he allegedly put her in a bear hug while she screamed, “No, no, no!”

“You can have the hard option or the soft option,” Gordon allegedly seethed before raping her three times while wearing condoms.

After each assault, he made her wash herself in an apparent attempt to destroy evidence, the sources said.

He then took a picture of her driver’s license and let her leave, sources said.

The victim immediately reported the attacks, and detectives arrested Gordon that same night.

Gordon, who tutors students at Lehman College, was charged with rape, criminal sexual act and sexual abuse. His lawyer, Eric Franz, denied the allegations.

Gordon told the Post yesterday that the woman was upset because she couldn’t spend the night with him.

He said they went out for Cabernet Sauvignon at Le Souk in Soho and bought marijuana at Washington Square Park before getting intimate on his rooftop.

Then, Gordon said, he told her to leave. “I said, ‘My girlfriend is downstairs. She would kill you if she found out.’ ”

Gordon’s fiancée, Charlotte Schioler, posted $100,000 bail after his arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court.

Schioler said they have an “open relationship.”

There's so much fodder and ambiguity in this. I'm sure he'll beat it with a competent lawyer.

I'll pick off some highlights here.

I seriously doubt this was rape.

There are way too many holes in the story.

Unless there's actual physical evidence, other than what the girl says then there should be no case. Its scary the police say he's a "predator" based on the fact that he didn't take her to a dinner.

[blackglasses]

Wow this sounds like an actual rape for once

How so?

All you have is a woman's story.

Is there vaginal tearing? Bruising? Physical harm?

This is a class he-said-she-said case.

Oh wait. The man accused of rape is black. He must be guilty.

My good friend dealt with the police in a he-says/she-says type situation. Except it was another guy, and the charge was assault and not rape.

Once someone presents themselves as a victim to the police, that's the end of the story. The police do not care about finding the truth or what actually happened. They have their victim and care only about finding or creating a perpetrator and building the strongest case against him by any means necessary. They will ignore any evidence or information that goes against that story.

The police (especially detectives) view their job as to close cases. That is what they are rewarded for. They consider it the court's job to figure out if their suspect is guilty or not, not theirs.

If you are ever a suspect in a crime, no matter how outrageous and phony the charge, do not speak to the police. Do not give them any information whatsoever or try to clear your name in any way. They can and will use any information against you. There is a reason they have to say "and will". Nothing you say can possibly help you, only hurt you. There are no exceptions. Save it for the judge.

Yep. The biggest threat to men is white knights.

The girl went with him to his apartment on her own accord. She wasn't handcuffed. She didn't want wined and dine.

How the fuck that makes him a predator is something only white knights can know.

Girl has one drink or less: She was sober, he must have raped her.
Girl has more than one drink: She wasn't sober and couldn't give consent, therefore he raped her.

Congratulations, however the coin lands, you're a RAPIST!

In Woman-Run America, it's a crime to fuck girls with minimal prior investment. Even if the girl doesn't know it, it's rape.

Maybe the dude was fucking around on his girl because she's... Danish! Observing rule #1 of Roosh Club:

[kosko]

Women don't get wet during a forced entry. Women have a anti-rape defence programmed into their bodies, their pussies literally go dry to cause pain to the forced entry. This is biology to keep omegas away from being able to comfortably force a nut into them, it sounds funny as hell but its just nature at work. Her pussy would of looked like a crime seen of tears and damage, his dick would not of fared better either. Why would a savage like that take her and do that in his own home? That is gutter ally shit for a mental dude in a bad part of town.

For this women whom is 41 and a bag of bones whom - most likely needs lube to begin with - the fact that this happened three times, three fucking times and you don't scream for your bloody life? I am sure you would of been rather good the dead in that situation miss, I don't by feminist bullshit that the women don't protest out of fear either. This chic is full of shit. This dude lives in a million dollar Brownstone in one of the best parts of NYC, that is game enough right there. Why would he need to rape some soggy 41 year old when he's got a million dollar home and live-in wife whom he can get a nut off with?

The thing is this girl being from the sticks of Georgia is going to have to understand homebody is going to be taking her to spots he is a local in and most likely has locked down. People will back him up in court hopefully if it even makes it that far.

Story is bullshit.

No wonder Ali wasn't posting on the board earlier. He must have just posted bail.

Anyone remember that scene from Borat's where he introduces some dude named Bartok or something like that as the 'village rapist'? That's what I thought upon reading the headline

Wow. Captain White Knight.

Sounds like he has dough, so he should sue the fuck out of the girl and the police department for defamation.

Yup, that is exactly what he should do. It wouldn't be a bad idea to sue the police officer individually, just to scare him and put money out of his pocket. Since the guy is rich, he could also be connected, and pull some strings to file a complain that gets the officer fired on a technicality.

Interesting case. Owning a brownstone in Manhattan is real expensive. He has enough game so he openly fucks girls outside of the"fiancee" ( who I doubt he will marry if he wants to hang onto that brownstone) I speculate he may feel like an entitled guy.

If I was an investigator I would be hugely interested if he had ANY arrests for violence in his past. Or if she had any history of instability.

I reserve judgement. What does she gain by running to the cops when she isn't even in her home town where anyone will find out?

Since false accusation is or should be a crime, I am seeking a motive for her perpetration of the crime.
I'm not saying he's guilty at all. If she ain't beat up, that seems evidence against it.

That cop's stupid assumptions might be a good case for a mistrial is the jurors hear about it.

It could be that she is unstable or perhaps has "buyers remorse". If she lied, it would qualify as "filing a false police report" and "lying to the popo".

If the guy is innocent his reputation is already tarnished. It's happened before, she gets a "false report" charge with probation and she goes on. On the hand, people judge him. Google does not forgive.

[Balboa]

He says, she says...even it it smells funny, we aren't in a position to know if he raped her or not.

On the other hand, what that cop said was clearly out of order and it looks like they're setting him up for a lynching.

Won't the police become suspicious if you tell them you dont want to speak them? If you are innocent and didnt do anything, why wouldnt you disclose some information to them?

This is based on all crimes documentaries that i have watched. When the suspect refuses to talk to police, he usually has commited a crime.

THey are already suspicious of you or they wouldn't be questioning you.

Also, let them be suspicious.

Saying out of prison is all about making the government make its case against you.

Police will also lie about what you told them. Interviews are NOT recorded until AFTER they get a confession out of you.

If you don't confess, they don't turn on the tape recorder.

Since there's no tape, the cop can say you said whatever he wants.

By the way, do you know why the police will not record the entire conversation you have with them?

Quote:

[A]s all experienced investigators and prosecutors know, perfectly lawful and acceptable interviewing techniques do not always come across in recorded fashion to lay persons as proper means of obtaining information from defendants. Initial resistance may be interpreted as involuntariness and misleading a defendant as to the quality of the evidence against him may appear to be unfair deceit.

In other words, you're tricked and lied to. It's totally legal for the police to lie to you.

Never talk the police. Ever. Even if you are a witness to a crime, do not talk to them without a lawyer.

Accused of rape. Fiancee posts bail.

Please Pitt, in the name of all that is holy, never ever ever talk to police when accused or even hinted at being accused of anything, no matter how innocent you are. You are ALWAYS best off consulting a lawyer first, and refusing to talk is not an admission of guilt - no matter how much they want you to believe it is.

They'll even throw that at you while questioning you. "Why do you need a lawyer if you're innocent?" "Why can't you just answer the questions if you didn't do anything?"

A response I've used to the above is, "Well, I feel like you're making some pretty big accusations right now and it makes me feel uncomfortable." But you don't even have to say that. You don't have to say anything at all.

They are mind-fucking you at this point and taking advantage of the fact that most people don't understand their rights, are scared, and naively believe in the system's ability to protect them. Be polite but be insistent on talking to a lawyer or being let go if they're not charging you with anything.

Just because you're innocent does not mean the system won't gobble you up and spit you out. And since most of us don't know the system in and out like pigs do, we have no way of knowing what minor thing they'll use against us later.

Let your lawyer tell your story for you, and if they don't have anything on you they'll let you go after huffing and puffing a little bit - thus it'll never even come to your lawyer to begin with.

For more on how to deal with cops, look up a book called "The Outlaw's Bible." Yes, it's written for outlaws by an outlaw that spent his whole life in and out of the system and educated himself on the law while inside, but the info is very applicable and useful for citizens from all walks of life, which he also illustrates well in his book.

No DA in America has EVER pursued a false rape allegation charge against a woman.

And if you sue the cop personally, the police union gives him an attorney.

The best response to this is to pool all your resources into your defense. Don't think you're gonna sue the cop, or can win a case against the chick on libel or defamation. Unless you get the girl admitting it was all bullshit ala Brian Banks' chick, you have no shot.

How many women do you know who have motives for anything? Having a motive requires LOGIC.

I'll go with his story. He banged the chick, she wanted to stay the night, and he told her she had to leave. After her initial resistance in leaving, he may have thrown in a "Bitch it's time to bounce" or thrown her purse outside the front door. A scenario like that seems perfectly ripe for frivolous allegation when a vengeful bitch is involved.

Well I'm convinced!

[WanderingSoul]

So was his girlfriend actually there when this all occurred, or did he just say that to get the girl to leave? If his girlfriend was there, and testifies that she heard no screaming or signs of a struggle, you would hope the guy gets off.

If he really is a rapist, I hope he rots in prison for this, but it seems to be 100% he said she said with no actual evidence. It's scary that he could still be convicted based on just that though.

The police offer shouldn't even be making comments about him being a predator, and it's fucked up they put his girlfriends name in the paper. Even more fucked up that people can have their name dragged through the dirt before being convicted with anything.
