Goldman Sachs Banker Charged With Raping 20-Year-Old Irish Student

Posted on | September 24, 2013 | 33 Comments

Meet Jason Lee, 37, an Ivy League-educated managing director of the equity capital markets department at Goldman Sachs. One weekend in late August, Lee was celebrating his birthday at a bar in the Hamptons when he met a 20-year-old student from Ireland. He bought her and her friends drinks, and invited them to a $33,000-a-month house he was renting in East Hampton.

A sort of pool party ensued and, the woman told police, Lee was naked when he followed her to the bathroom, forced open the door, pinned her to the floor and raped her. Lee is married. His wife was in Manhattan at the time of the alleged assault. Lee’s lawyer admits his client had sex with the woman, but says it was consensual.

I wanted to point out this alleged crime, allegedly perpetrated by a wealthy member of the elite, in case anyone thought sex crimes were only committed by trash like the Alford brothers of Nebraska.

    Why am I not surprised here? This guy probably was in a high pressure program and has no concept of an acceptable social interaction.

    Collin Finnerty’s father was a hedge fund manager with a net worth large enough to be donating buildings to institutions. David Evans mother was a high-powered Washington lawyer. If anything, their position contributed to their legal problems (and those of Reade Seligman, whose family was supposedly not so flush or influential), at least for the first year.

    Allegedlies aside, you only prove your conclusion if the first half of the sentence is true. Non-allegedly.

    I’m surprised.

    I’m always surprised when a man behaves like a thug. To say nothing of angry and outraged.

    Is it just me, or is this blog starting to resemble one of those “True Crime” magazines which the barber kept in a drawer out of sight when mothers brought their boys in for a haircut? [Insert Smiley Thing]
