US: Jilted lover tried to have mistress raped

A wealthy hedge fund manager tried to get a stranger to kidnap and rape his mistress after she dumped him.

Albert Hsu, 43, from Connecticut faces to two years in jail and will have to register as a sex offender after admitting the charges.

Hsu was arrested after posing as his former mistress and putting an advert on a bondage web site inviting readers to kidnap and rape her as part of a sexual fantasy.

“I want a real-life abduction and rape scene,” the advert read. “Only those who can deliver on my extreme desires need apply.”

Hsu later exchanged e-mails with a New Jersey man who responded. He described the woman’s car and where she usually stood on a train station platform.

The scheme unravelled when the New Jersey man asked to talk on the phone so he could confirm the woman he was writing to had actually placed the advert.

He became suspicious when Hsu would not provide a phone number and called the listed home number for the 36-year-old woman, who was terrified and called police.

Hsu, a married father of two, left the courthouse without commenting. He will be sentenced in December.
