Man Found Not Guilty Of Rape: Judge Says It Was Just 'Regrettable Sex'

Daily Mail-  Their group met Lee at the trendy Georgica nightclub and went back to Lee's house to party until 4am on that night in the summer of 2013.

But Mr Lankler painted an entirely different picture of what happened next.

In his opening statement he said that the bathroom where the alleged rape happened was 12ft from where the victim's brother and her friend were - but that they did not hear a noise.

He said that the facts were 'entirely consistent with the circumstances under which consensual sex occurs' but that it could have been 'perhaps regrettable consensual sex'.

The victim and her best friend admitted that after meeting Lee they had been drinking vodka and wine and the court heard that when they got to his house the party continued with an open bottle of champagne.

The court was shown photographs taken that evening which showed the victim smiling with Lee draped around her arm.

Other pictures showed her posing with Lee and his friend, Rene Duncan. The victim's friend admitted that at one point she kissed Mr Duncan.

Mr Lankler said that he had a good idea about the victim's 'cultural attitude' and suggested she and her friends had a problem with Asians which may have explained why they reacted badly after she and Lee had sex.

There was also 'not a scratch' on Lee despite the victim claiming that they had been in a violent struggle, he said.

Lee had chosen a bench trial rather than a jury because, legal experts said, he might come across as unlikable to residents of Long Island.




​Nice try lady. We all have a couple of notches on the bed post that we would rather have covered up. That's life. Everyone has one too many drinks and has sex with someone that wouldn't want their friends to know about. Doesn't mean you can accuse someone of rape and ruin their life forever. How about you just suppress the memory way down deep inside you and no one will have to spend 25 years in prison, kay?  I don't know the word-for-word definition of consent but being at a stranger's house at 4AM drinking his champagne, draping your arm over him and kissing him sounds pretty spot on to me. 

Rape? Come on sweetheart. When you get caught riding a moped do you say that the rental company forced it on you as well? You are just mad you upped your number on some tiny Asian dick. It's okay. No one is judging. Except for your friends I guess. Either way, Jason Lee is not the bad guy here. Either your friends, and your brother, stood idly by while you got raped, or your friends caused you to accuse someone of rape because they are judgmental pieces of shit. Sounds like you need new friends. Probably would be beneficial to have a brother with even a semblance of concern for your safety too. No amount of time served is going to make your company less superficial. Couldn't you just tell them that someone needed to bite the bullet for a 4AM romp in the Hamptons? Sure, your friends will gossip about the time that you fucked some ugly old Asian guy, but at least he was rich. That's got to count for something, right? Nothing comes free in this world, and that includes unlimited champagne and the use of a mansion. Luckily you were blessed with the most valuable piece of currency between your legs. Gold diggers have been working their ass off for years to get the pussy exchange rate up, don't ruin it with one fraudulent rape charge.

P.S. Thank God there was no jury, because my man looks guiltier then the guy in the AmeriQuest commercial.
