At a press conference, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said investigators found surveillance cameras and memory cards at Hemphill’s Midtown apartment that turned up videos of “dozens, if not hundreds” of different women he victimized between October 2024 and last month.
“The details in this case are beyond disturbing — a sustained, calculated campaign of violence and cruelty that targeted vulnerable women,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch said in a statement from Bragg’s office.
Ryan Hemphill, 43, who was found not guilty of choking and assaulting his then-girlfriend at knifepoint during an over-the-top romp in 2015, allegedly used cattle prods, shock collars and waterboarding to subdue new victims during “multi-hour ordeals,” according to a 116-count indictment.
