Formers Goldman Sachs executive suspected of rape of Irish J1 student hid from police

The former Goldman Sachs executive accused of raping an Irish J1 student at the $40,000 a month holiday home he was renting in the Hamptons, hid for over two hours as police sought him out.

This was according to prosecuting lawyer Kerriann Kelly whose opening argument described graphically the sexual assault which Jason Lee is alleged to have carried out in the early hours of Tuesday, August 20, 2013.

Defence lawyer Andrew Lankler did not dispute that his client went missing as police officers attempted to find out what had happened on the night in question, but he did outline several “enormous inconsistencies” which, he predicted, would prevent Mr Lee from being found guilty of rape beyond a reasonable doubt and would rather go to show that the sex was consensual.
