Man Arrested for Rape, Live-Streamed on Internet

Playboy just hired him as Articles Editor.

Police in Arizona have arrested a 20-year-old man over allegations that he raped a woman live on the internet.

According to media reports, the man - who comes from Surprise, a suburb of Phoenix - was taken into custody on charges of sexual assault, kidnapping and taking a surreptitious photograph, after a police investigation uncovered footage of the incident.

Court documents allege that the event took place in February, following a night when the man and a female friend got drunk. According to the affidavit, the man waited until the woman had fallen asleep and then set up a webcam before streaming the assault on the internet - apparently making a series of comments and jokes throughout the 30 minute broadcast.

"Karma's a bitch, isn't it?" he quipped.

Re: the Playboy article: I embargoed it because I didn't want to link them, hoping someone would screen-cap the pages and then I could link that. Someone eventually did, but then that page was overwhelmed.

Plus I can't seem to finish my rebuttal piece.
