cardiologist serial rapist weeps at his sentencing to 158 years, Dr. Steven Matthews

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.

…which is why he’s so shocked and upset now. He fully expected to get away with it. The only reason he’s crying is because he got caught and because of the sentence—there’s absolutely no remorse here.

I'd like to hear from some of his patients, who while not victims, might well have had something to say about his attitudes and demeanor in dealing with them.

They don't think in terms of right or wrong or consequences, they just think in terms of getting some bizarre need met.

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.

in the restored and rightful administration of His Royal Grand High and Exalted Mystic Majesty, Mango Mussolini.

Or maybe he could still serve from prison.
