A Google engineer busted for an alleged rape in his East Village apartment is being probed for “numerous” other reported attacks, the Daily News has learned.
Justin Chan, 28, was arraigned in Manhattan Supreme Court Tuesday on rape charges stemming from the alleged sexual assault June 1 inside his E. 12th St. apartment.
Chan, who hails from Canada but works for the technology giant in New York, approached the victim on the street and “they had a shot of whiskey” before going back to his apartment, prosecutors said.
She told him she wanted to leave but he forced her to say and forced a sexual encounter around 8:30 p.m., the district attorney says.
“Although the defendant doesn’t have a criminal history, he has numerous complaints of sexual assault against (him) which are being investigated at this time,” a prosecutor told Justice Charles Solomon on Tuesday.
Chan, who pleaded not guilty to his indictment, is free on $50,000 cash bail. Prosecutors wanted to have his bail hiked to $150,000, based on the ongoing investigation.
“There's no change of circumstances,” his attorney, Kimberly Summers, argued.
As the details where read in court, Chan shook his head in disagreement.
Both he and Summers, declined to comment after the hearing. Chan left the courthouse with his girlfriend, who is he moving in with, and another pal.
