Google Engineer Charged With Raping 19-Year-Old

[onehandle]

New York City police are investigating a Google engineer for an alleged string of sexual assaults. Justin Chan was arraigned in Manhattan Supreme Court Tuesday over charges springing from the latest allegation: raping a 19-year-old woman in his East Village apartment. According to the New York Post, Chan, 28, met the victim in Union Square and persuaded her to go to his E. 12th St. apartment.

There, the two took a shot of booze, but when the victim told Chan she wanted to leave, he forcibly threw up on top of his bed and held her down.

The Daily News reports that prosecutors believe this was not the engineer's first assault.

"Although the defendant doesn't have a criminal history, he has numerous complaints of sexual assault against (him) which are being investigated at this time," a prosecutor told Justice Charles Solomon on Tuesday.

1. What a disgusting little man. nt

[Louisiana1976]

3. Yes. I'd be in favor of castrating him.

[whatchamacallit]

10. Was there something about his height or size mentioned that I missed

or is it because he has an Asian name? Certainly a disgusting man of whatever size.

Edit - Ah, I see there is a picture at one of the linked pages.

22. It's not his physical stature that is in question but his rank as a human being.

2. What does her age have to do with anything?

I mean, she's not underage, so does it matter whether she's nineteen, twenty, thirty... whatever?

I'm trying to parse out why her being 19 is so important they have to mention it in the head AND the lead.

5. I think I understand what you are trying to say

That rape is rape, no matter the age.

Unartfully though it may have been expressed.

[TygrBright]

6. Yes, thank you.

Granted, there's an additional level of criminal disgustingness to raping underage people, but is it more newsworthy to rape a 19-year-old than to rape a 32-year-old?

What's up with that?

baffledly,
Bright

7. what does the fact that he works for Google have to do with anything?

[TygrBright]

8. I think it's a local rag and the big employer in that area is Google.

So I can understand that.

If it were here, it might be "LANL Engineer charged etc..."

Local connection in local reportage. Not relevant but understandable.

Not getting the age thing, is all.

Curiously,
Bright

13. So Apple fanboys like the OP can post threads like this so we all think Google is bad.

[snooper2]

19. Oh, I missed that as well LOL, little slow today

[lexx21]

4. Wait... he forcibly "thew up on top of his bed".....

Yeah that's what I always thought turned the ladies on.......nothing like a good puking ..... or proof reading....

[stevenleser]

16. I'm trying to figure out what that means. Did he throw up on his bed

and rape her on top of vomit? That just adds a new dimension of horror and depravity to what is already a horrific and depraved act.

[lexx21]

20. It should have read...

"threw her on the bed" and not "threw up on the bed". The person who wrote the article did not proof read the piece before he/she published it. That really gets me when I read what are supposedly major news sites and they have stupid errors like that.

9. Horrific crime. And seriously... Are. You. On. Apple's. Payroll?

I don't even have to look at who the OP is when I see a post that is negative about Google.

[stevenleser]

12. In OP's defense, that was the title of the article.

That said, I dont know the posters history.

[Hosnon]

14. I am very familiar with it. onehandle is the king of all things negative about Google.

This is worthy of discussion, of course. But it's insane how every post is from the same poster.

[onehandle]

15. Yes. Every 'negative post' in DU's history about Google is from me.

Every. Single. One.

Also Apple is Google's only competitor, although 95% of Google's income is from ads in web searches, while Apple's business is 95% hardware and software.

Oh, and I am 'insane.'

Good to know.

[lexx21]

21. Meh... who cares....

Some people are fan boys of one thing, some of another. So this guy doesn't like Google..... the best search engine in the world...... or probably Android phones... the best phone OS in the world....... but that's ok. To each their own. I'm gonna go Google something now........

[stevenleser]

11. What a monster this guy is. Poor woman.

She wasn't just raped, but raped pinned down on top of vomit. What a horrific experience.

And what kind of person thinks to do that? This guy is a real monster.

[Comrade Grumpy]

17. Horrid crime, but a local crime story. Why is it here?

Oh, it's not about rape at all, but about some poster's anti-Google obsession.

[LanternWaste]

18. Be careful shaving...

Be careful shaving...

(One may imagine the sincerity of both our statements is equivalent in this case...)
