Heart doctor used dating apps to lure, assault women: Jury

TL;DR


• Dr. Manish Gupta, a cardiologist in New Jersey, was convicted of using dating apps to lure at least 11 women into his home, where he drugged them. Prosecutors stated that Gupta would invite the women over, offer them drinks laced with sedatives, and then sexually assault them while they were incapacitated. Several of the victims reported feeling disoriented and experiencing memory loss after their encounters with Gupta.

• The investigation into Gupta's crimes began in 2018 when one of his victims came forward and reported the assault. Authorities were able to identify additional victims through their investigation, leading to Gupta's arrest and eventual conviction. He was found guilty of charges including sexual assault, criminal sexual contact, and drug distribution.

• Gupta faces a significant prison sentence for his crimes. Prosecutors have indicated that he could receive up to 20 years in prison for the sexual assault charges alone. The case has been described as a "betrayal of trust" given Gupta's position as a medical professional. The conviction serves as a warning to others who may attempt to use their positions of power to exploit and harm vulnerable individuals.
