00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:16.199
Dating apps. Theyre this generation's version of the blind date.

2
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.920
For the women who matched with doctor Steven Matthews, they

3
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.920
thought they had found the man of their dreams, at

4
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:35.320
least on paper. He was smart, attractive, and wealthy. At

5
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.840
just thirty six, he was one of the top cardiologists

6
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:45.359
in the entire state of Colorado. The women who would

7
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.679
meet with the young doctor were excited. They could not

8
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.840
wait to tell their closest friends how the first date went.

9
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.560
But it was what they could not remember about that

10
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.240
first date that was so shocking and would change the

11
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:08.840
lives of over a dozen women forever. Welcome to Exposed

12
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.280
Scandalous Files of the Elite.

13
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:24.000
Unhinged Doctor Stephen Matthews. Hey everyone, and welcome back to

14
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:27.840
Exposed Scandalous Files of the Elite. I am your host

15
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:33.079
Jim Chapman. Thank you for joining me today. And before

16
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:38.359
we get into today's episode, I have a global celebrity

17
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.120
member from our patreon that I need to shout out.

18
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.560
That is Miss Tiffany Lynn Hubert and y'all. Tiffany is

19
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:51.680
from Overland, Missouri, and I'm a history buff and when

20
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.200
it comes to y'all joining the Patreon, I like to

21
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.799
look at where you're coming from. And if I'm not

22
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.640
familiar with that PARTI town, I'd like to google it

23
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:03.760
can kind of check out the history on it. And

24
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.920
a couple of things I found interesting about Overland, Missouri.

25
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:12.680
Daniel Boone actually built a cabin. There was a one

26
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:17.520
bedroom cabin that he lived in. And Overland is also

27
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:23.159
the home of the National Military Records Office, which had

28
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:27.280
a huge fire in nineteen seventy three. It destroyed like

29
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:33.599
eighteen million records, making it the single largest loss of

30
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:38.599
government files in the history of the United States. Some

31
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.879
pretty interesting stuff. And thank you again, miss Tiffany for

32
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:49.479
joining as a Global Celebrity member. So let's get into

33
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:54.240
today's episode. And y'all, I'm telling you this one is

34
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:59.199
going to blow your mind. I'm going to call it unhinged,

35
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.400
and you'll see why as we go along in the story. Now,

36
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:11.960
in my opinion, the top profession in which trust is

37
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:17.719
just absolutely paramount is in the field of medicine, and

38
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.400
specifically that of a medical doctor. Now, not only does

39
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:26.680
a medical doctor have access to your most intimate history

40
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.759
as far as your health, but typically the trust is

41
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.719
so great that your doctor can pretty much tell you

42
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:38.000
to take any drug on God's green Earth to heal

43
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:41.919
whatever it is you're in the doctor's office for, and

44
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.360
you're probably going to take it without even questioning it. Right,

45
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.840
there's that trust there. They can put you asleep, they

46
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:53.879
can have access to touch you completely nude in some cases,

47
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.520
and we trust that they're good people. They're not going

48
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:02.400
to take advantage of these situations. And look, there's millions

49
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.719
and millions of good doctors in the world, and then

50
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:12.479
there's doctor Stephen Matthews. Let me tell you, there's not

51
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.879
a ton of information out there on doctor Stephen Matthews

52
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.639
prior to him actually becoming a doctor. What I can

53
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.199
tell you is he was born on October eighth of

54
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:29.000
nineteen eighty seven. He is six feet tall, he's about

55
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.560
one hundred and eighty eight pounds, and he got his

56
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:36.639
medical degree from New York Medical College in twenty fourteen.

57
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:42.439
And he was a practicing cardiologist in Denver, Colorado. And

58
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.920
he was thirty five years old when he was arrested

59
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:52.040
on March twenty second of twenty twenty three and charged

60
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.720
with three counts of sexual assault for having sex with

61
00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:00.000
a woman who told police she had no memory of it.

62
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.720
Engaging in sex with the heart doctor. According to her,

63
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.600
Matthews and the woman met through a dating app called Hinge.

64
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.680
They communicated for several weeks before agreeing to meet for brunch.

65
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:17.199
This was on Sunday, January twenty ninth of twenty twenty three.

66
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.279
The pair had breakfast, they had some mimosas, and then

67
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:26.319
the two walked to matthews nearby home. So the woman

68
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:31.199
told police, the two played jinga and they hung out

69
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.680
in his hot tub. She said after some time, she

70
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:39.519
began to feel poorly and the last memory she had

71
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.839
was being in that hot tub. Her next memory, she said,

72
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.279
was nearly ten hours later when she was at home

73
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:52.120
and she's being treated by paramedics. She said, shortly after

74
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:57.079
the paramedics left, she discovered she had hickeys on her chest,

75
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.519
but she didn't remember any interaction like that was steven.

76
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.959
She also told police she decided to press forward with

77
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:09.399
the criminal investigation after finding out that a family friend

78
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.879
had gone on a date with Matthews several years earlier

79
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:19.439
and had a similar experience. So the Denver Police they

80
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.000
get this information and they contact Matthews and he told

81
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:28.160
the police that the woman had one or two mimosas

82
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.720
and had another mimosa at his house while he was

83
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.360
having a tequila. In his story, he said the woman

84
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:39.040
had two shots of tequila and that they started kissing

85
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.439
in the hot tub and then he asked her if

86
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.399
she wanted to go to bed. He didn't mean to

87
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:48.639
go to sleep right. She said that she did.

88
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:54.040
And according to Matthews, they had consensual sex. Matthews told

89
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.199
police after they were done having sex, she vomited, and

90
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.639
he said that he helped her and she vomited two

91
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:06.120
more times. He then said she later called for an

92
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.160
uber and went home. He even told the police he

93
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.399
checked in with her later and she had been apologetic,

94
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:18.600
so police they didn't buy that story, and the District

95
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:23.800
Attorney of Denver charged Matthews with sexual assault with no consent,

96
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.839
sexual assault on a helpless victim, and sex assault on

97
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:33.480
an incapable victim. And all three of those are felony charges. Y'all.

98
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.439
So before we go any further, let's talk about this.

99
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.279
First off, all of this may seem bizarre to you,

100
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.959
it did to me. I mean, Stephen Matthews. He was

101
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:51.160
a cardiologist. That means he's smart, means he works hard,

102
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.759
and honestly, he was a good looking guy. He had

103
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.360
a ton of money. And yes, I know these days

104
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:02.079
it's quite common for people to meet through dating apps,

105
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:06.720
but it's just not your typical situation. I wouldn't think

106
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:10.720
when you're a heart doctor, a single guy probably could

107
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.879
have his pick of ladies. I would imagine that he

108
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.399
could date. But I'll explain exactly why dating apps were

109
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.680
his thing later on, So let's get back to it.

110
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.319
He gets arrested on that charge, and he bails out

111
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.319
the next day on a fifty thousand dollars bond, and

112
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.879
his court date. Tanner's plea is set for May sixteenth

113
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:39.000
of twenty twenty three. So on May sixteenth of twenty

114
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.720
twenty three, he shows up for his court date, right,

115
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.879
and he's Danner's plea at this court date, and he

116
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.000
enters what you would expect him to dinner and not

117
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.399
guilty plea, and he walks out of the courtroom. He

118
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:57.679
heads to his car, and boom, he is arrested as

119
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.879
soon as he gets outside. It seems when he was

120
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:04.840
out of jail on bail, police were doing their thing.

121
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:08.639
They were gathering evidence in that first case, and while

122
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:12.519
in the process of doing so, they discovered this was

123
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:17.559
not the first time Stephen Matthews had done this, not

124
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:21.840
even close. And Beth McCann, who is the district attorney

125
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:25.840
for the second Judicial District in Denver, Colorado, she releases

126
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:29.720
a public statement following this second arrest and this is

127
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:33.840
really when this thing blew up, and it reads Denver

128
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:38.159
DA charges Stephen Matthews with assaulting You're ready for this

129
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:43.559
ten victims. On March twenty second of twenty twenty three,

130
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.679
Stephen Matthews, thirty five, was arrested and accused of sexually

131
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.360
assaulting and drugging a female victim, and prosecutors with the

132
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:56.159
DA's office charged him with three felony counts sexual assault

133
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:00.759
victim helpless, sexual assault no consent and so sexual assault

134
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:07.320
victim incapable of appraising condition. Matthews was arrested again Monday

135
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.879
morning as he left the courtroom. On April eighteenth, twenty

136
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:14.440
twenty three, the Denver Police Department announced that investigators have

137
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:18.960
received subsequent information indicating that there may be other incidents

138
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.360
involving Matthews and ask anyone who believed that they may

139
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.159
be a victim to call the Sex Crime Genet. That

140
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.720
request generated calls from un additional nine women. As a

141
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:35.120
result of new victims coming forward, prosecutors will dismiss the

142
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.159
original criminal case against Matthews and file a new criminal

143
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.840
case alleging sixteen felony counts involving a total of ten

144
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.879
female victims. The new case combines the charges from the

145
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:53.159
original case with new counts after nine additional women came forward.

146
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:57.320
Matthews is now charged with three counts of sexual assault

147
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:01.600
victim helpless, one count of sexual assats no consent, two

148
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:06.480
counts of sexual assault overcoming will drugging, three counts of

149
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:10.960
sexual assault victim, and capable in seven counts of second

150
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:15.840
degree assault drugging. And so that came out, and in

151
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:20.320
the blink of an eye, this cardiologist, mind you, is

152
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:25.600
now accused of being a serial rapist of the worst degree.

153
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.720
Let me tell you how arrogant this asshole is. He

154
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:34.360
renews his medical license in between finding out he's being

155
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.200
arrested on ten more charges. Now, this guy's smart, and

156
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.759
he's no dummy. He's a cardiologist. Right. You can't convince

157
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.360
me that he didn't think anybody else was going to

158
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.960
come forward after he had done this to all these women,

159
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:53.200
unless he's just super arrogant. Well, guess what, he's super arrogant.

160
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.639
This came out in the Denver Paper. A cardiologist was

161
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.759
able to renew his license one month after Denver prosecutors

162
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.320
charged him with multiple counts of sexual assault on May

163
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.720
twenty second, Stephen Matthews agreed not to practice right now,

164
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.600
but only after nine more women came forward. Police said.

165
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:17.240
The first victim came forward early this year. She's accused

166
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:20.120
Matthew of sexually assaulting her after meeting him on that

167
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.279
dating app Hinge. On April twenty seventh, the Department of

168
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.399
Regulatory Agencies said Matthew sent in an application to renew

169
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:32.000
his license, and the renewal took effect May first. I

170
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.159
am shocked and dismayed as a person, as a physician,

171
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.120
and as a colleague who practices in cardiology. That from

172
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.720
medical expert doctor Pyel Coli. Coli said there needed to

173
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.399
be more oversight and he hoped to see changes in

174
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:49.840
the system. She knows how the renewals work because she

175
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:53.639
submitted her application last month. It's less than a five

176
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:57.399
minute process, and it doesn't require me to talk about

177
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:01.559
any of my criminal convictions or mental health changes, she said,

178
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.600
just a blanket sort of question, which is have there

179
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:07.840
ever been any changes that you would like to report?

180
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.200
According to the notice sent by the agency, it's up

181
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.360
to the applicant to list any arrest, charges or convictions,

182
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:19.360
and failure to disclose criminal history could constitute grounds for

183
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.759
denial of an application. The doctor went on to say

184
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.480
which physician would voluntarily give up information when they haven't

185
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.000
yet been convicted, only been charged that they may put

186
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.320
their license at risk? She said. On May sixteenth, the

187
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:38.559
Denver DA charge Matthews again for assaulting nine more women,

188
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:42.320
and it kind of goes on from there. But how

189
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:47.159
fucking arrogant is this guy? And how shocking is it

190
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.840
that you can renew your medical license when you're under

191
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:55.120
those sort of charges and they don't even ask you.

192
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.919
They ask you to voluntarily list anything in your life

193
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.039
that's changed. Well, I submit to you that no one's

194
00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:06.919
going to volunteer that information. It wasn't long after that

195
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:14.120
a previously sealed indictment for his arrest on the charges

196
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:18.200
of multiple victims came out. And let me tell you

197
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:23.080
how these affidavits for arrest work. Essentially, a police officer

198
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:27.600
known asn't a fant right the person asking for permission

199
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:31.840
from a judge to arrest an individual goes to the

200
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.080
judge with all the facts and it's typed up, and

201
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.759
I'm going to read you the affidavit concerning Stephen Matthews.

202
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:45.000
It says on January thirtieth of twenty twenty three, victim

203
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.759
and y'all. It redacts the victim's name, obviously, because these

204
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.480
are sex crimes, so we're going to say victim A.

205
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.960
Victim A went to University Hospital and underwent a sexual

206
00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:00.960
assault nurse examination for sexual assault perse traded against her

207
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:04.919
the previous night. At that time, she opted not to

208
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:09.000
be identified. A week later, however, on February sixth of

209
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.840
twenty twenty three, Victim Ay called the Denver Police Sex

210
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:16.559
Crimes Unit and asked about filing a report for sexual assault.

211
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:19.320
She was advised that she could come to headquarters and

212
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.399
speak to a detective, which she elected to do. Victim

213
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:25.919
May arrived at headquarters and met with Detective Andrew Como

214
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.799
for a preliminary interview. Victim Ay reported she recently met

215
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.159
with a man by the name of Stephen Matthews on

216
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:36.879
a dating app called Hinge. They spoke over the app

217
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:39.200
for a few weeks and agreed to meet This was

218
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.000
on January twenty ninth of twenty twenty three. They met

219
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.200
at approximately ten to fifteen am at the On and

220
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.519
Off Cafe for breakfast and mimosis. After breakfast, he invited

221
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:53.639
her to his house and she accepted. They walked into

222
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.799
his home, later determined to be twenty two to thirty

223
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.559
three West thirtieth Avenue in the city of Denver. Matthew's

224
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:05.000
driver's license verified this address. She said the walk took

225
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:09.039
around five minutes. Once at doctor Matthew's home, they played

226
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:11.840
the game Jinga and they later got in this hot tub.

227
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.919
Victim A reported that doctor Matthews made her a drink

228
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:19.200
and that she began to feel poorly. Her next memory

229
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:23.120
is being at her own home and talking to paramedics.

230
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:27.200
She had no memory from about noon until about nine

231
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.799
forty pm, and she has no idea how she got home.

232
00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:35.039
Once she regained her mental faculties, victim A discovered she

233
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:38.399
took an uber home at her about three forty pm,

234
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:42.360
and then she called a friend and her sister during

235
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:46.480
this time. She was subsequently told she was not making

236
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.799
sense during those phone calls, so her sister came to

237
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.519
her home to check on her. As did her friend

238
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:57.399
and her mother. Upon arrival, her sister found Victim A

239
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:01.080
in the shower in her underwear. Victim May learned she

240
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:03.840
was acting erratically and did not know where she was.

241
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:08.279
Paramedics responded to the residents, but Victim AD declined treatment.

242
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:12.119
Victim A reported during her interview that she later noticed

243
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.519
she had hickeys on her chest, which she did not

244
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:20.119
have prior to blacking out. Victim Ay did not and

245
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:24.839
does not recall any sexual interaction with doctor Matthews. The

246
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:27.839

that for some unique justice. He was told the reason

255
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:05.119
for the call and was asked if he would be

256
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:09.400
willing to talk about victim May. Doctor Matthew said he would,

257
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.519
and he confirmed that the two met for breakfast in

327
00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:35.359
to proceed as an anonymous report and then changed to

328
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:39.000
a medical report only. Victim D stated she is now

329
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:43.359
coming forward to identify her assailant as Steven Matthews. She

330
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:46.440
said they had matched on hinge and he agreed to

331
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:48.920
meet her at a park in the Uptown area and

332
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:53.880
to walk their dogs. That park was Benedict Fountain Park

333
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:56.720
at twentieth and Luggin. He asked her if she wanted

334
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:59.359
to watch the sunset at his place, and she went

335
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:03.759
there with him. Computer checks showed doctor Matthews living at

336
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:08.119
nineteen thirty five Logan Street at that time. She said

337
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:10.599
he took her to the rooftop area and then went

338
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.279
to get things from his apartment. She said he was

339
00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:16.799
going for a long period of time, but eventually he

340
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:19.400
came back with a drink for her in a large cup.

341
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.440
In a jinga game, she said that she had noticed

342
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:25.680
that there were dares written on the jinga pieces, that

343
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:29.559
they appeared to be in different people's handwriting. When she

344
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:32.920
drew a blank piece, doctor Matthew asked her to write

345
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:34.920
a dare on it. She took a sip or two

346
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:37.920
of the drink and said that it tasted bad. She

347
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.880
eventually told him she needed to leave and said she

348
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.240
would help him take things back to his apartment. Once inside,

349
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:47.240
she said she was going to leave, but he asked

350
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:50.359
her to stay for just five more minutes. She agreed

351
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:54.039
and sat down. Victim d reported that her next memory

352
00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:58.279
is crawling across his bedroom floor. She was naked and

353
00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:01.920
yelling at him, asking what he did dead. She said

354
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:05.160
she got dressed, got her dog, and fled the apartment.

355
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:08.519
She called her sister in law to pick her up,

356
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:11.039
and she was taken to the hospital for a sexual

357
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:16.119
assault and nurse examination. On April nineteenth of twenty twenty three,

358
00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:20.400
year A FAE received a call from victim E. Victim

359
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:23.359
E reported a few years ago, somewhere between the fall

360
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.440
of twenty twenty and the spring of twenty twenty one,

361
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.920
she met doctor Matthews on Hinge. He suggested she come

362
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.519
to the hospital so they could hook up there, and

363
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.519
that many other women had done it. She declined, but

364
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:40.920
eventually agreed to meet him at his residence in Uptown, Denver.

365
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:45.519
He talked about liking BDSM and checking and said that

366
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.400
she would not want to know what type of porn

367
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.680
he likes to watch. Victim Me stated that everything happened

368
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.880
on this occasion was consensual. However, she went over to

369
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:02.160
doctor matthews residence a second time. On that occasion, doctor

370
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:05.599
Matthews gave her a drink, which she believed may have

371
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:09.720
been tequila. After that, she blacked out and does not

372
00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:14.559
remember anything at that point. Her next memory was waking

373
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:17.160
up at her home. She said that she had planned

374
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:21.559
on having sex with him, but did not remember anything.

375
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:24.839
On April twenty first of twenty twenty three, You're a

376
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:28.920
Fan spoke with Victim F. Victim F called and said

377
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:32.559
that she had been with doctor Matthews in the past.

378
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:35.279
She said that she went to his residence, which she

379
00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:37.880
later said was in the twenty two hundred block of

380
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.319
West thirtieth Avenue, the top left unit of the building

381
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:46.240
on January twenty second of twenty twenty two, because she

382
00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:48.920
had agreed to watch his house and dog while he

383
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:52.160
went out of town. On that date, she went to

384
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:54.359
his house to get a key and he offered her

385
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:57.839
a shot at tequila. After that, he wanted to eat,

386
00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:00.720
so they went to a restaurant. She thought he may

387
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.839
have bought her a drink there as well. Victim Math

388
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:06.799
reported that she began to feel ill and went to

389
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:10.319
the restroom, where she became violently ill. She could not

390
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:12.960
keep her head up, and the restaurant's staff wanted to

391
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:15.880
call nine one one. She called a roommate for a

392
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:19.720
ride and left. Victim Math said that her roommate told

393
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:23.759
her she was completely incoherent. Victim Math said she was

394
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:28.440
not sexually assaulted, but believes that doctor Matthews drugged her.

395
00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:32.359
On April twentieth, of twenty twenty three, yere spoke with

396
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:36.759
Victim g There's so many victim y'all. I'm losing track

397
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:39.839
of where I am in the alphabet. Victim g called

398
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:42.359
and said that she matched with Matthews on the dating

399
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:45.759
app tender in May of twenty twenty two. They went

400
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.119
on a hike and then went back to his place,

401
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:52.039
which she later said was off of Wydott and she

402
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.640
thought it was possibly between thirty fourth and thirty sixth Avenue.

403
00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:58.319
She described the block as having a church on one

404
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:01.359
corner in a restaurant on the She said they drank

405
00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:04.559
tequila and she only remembers having two or three shots.

406
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:07.960
They played Jinga, and then she remembered him waking her

407
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:10.920
up at eight pm and telling her she needed to leave.

408
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:13.319
She asked him what happened, and he told her that

409
00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:16.240
she passed out and that she must have been tired.

410
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:19.400
Victim Gene said that she was clothed when he woke her,

411
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:22.119
and she did not have evidence that anything happened, but

412
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:25.559
there was a block of about four hours she cannot remember.

413
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:30.079
I mean, this is crazy, y'all. On April nineteenth of

414
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:35.960
twenty twenty three, Victim h called the Denver Police Department

415
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:41.319
Sex Crimes hotline and spoke with Detective Reuben Gnardo. Victim

416
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.160
H reported that she had matched with doctor Matthews on

417
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.640
the dating app Tender, and they agreed to meet on

418
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:50.440
May twenty fifth of twenty twenty two. They met at

419
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:54.519
a park around two pm. After hanging out there, doctor

420
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:57.599
Matthews said that the view from his apartment was good

421
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:00.400
at that time of day and invited her back to

422
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.920
his place to play games. She stated that she drove

423
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:07.160
him and his dog to his place, which was only

424
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:09.839
a few blocks from the park, and once there, she

425
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:13.599
had at least two shots of an alcoholic broverge. Victim

426
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:16.400
H reported that she and doctor Matthews played a game

427
00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:19.319
and the next thing she remembered she was waking up

428
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:22.599
at one am in his bed. She reported having a

429
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:25.519
vague memory of him being on top of her and

430
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:29.599
kissing her. On April nineteenth of twenty twenty three, You're

431
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:33.920
Afe spoke with Victim I. Victim I called him reported

432
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:36.960
she went on a date with doctor Matthews on February

433
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.319
fifth of twenty twenty three, and y'all, that's after he

434
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.799
was fucking arrested the first time, but I'll continue on.

435
00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:49.240
After they met on Hinge, she said that he invited

436
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:52.559
her back to his residence at Low High near thirty Street,

437
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:54.960
and that he wanted to play jingle with her, hang

438
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:59.960
out in the hot tub, and drink Mimosa's. He also

439
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:04.119
that she could bring her dog once there. Victim I

440
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:07.160
reported that doctor Stevens tried to get her to drink

441
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.319
something he had made, but she declined. She said that

442
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:13.240
when they played Jinga there were things written on the

443
00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:16.559
jinga pieces, like in the game Truth or Dare. She

444
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:19.400
said that he got touchy when they were in the

445
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:23.240
hot tub. She began to feel very uncomfortable and decided

446
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:27.759
to leave. She said that she subsequently realized that he

447
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:31.480
was the same person who had sexually assaulted her friend

448
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:36.000
three years earlier. On May first of twenty twenty three,

449
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.839
Year spoke to Victim Jay. Victim Jay called to report

450
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:43.519
that she had gone on a date with doctor Matthews.

451
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:46.680
She said they met on tender in May or June

452
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:49.400
of twenty twenty two, and he asked her to come

453
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:52.440
to Denver to meet. They were going to have coffee

454
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:55.240
at a coffee shop near his house and take their

455
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:58.799
dogs to a nearby Park. After meaning, he invited her

456
00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:02.559
to his home and they walk there they played ladder ball.

457
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:06.400
I've never heard of that, and he then invited her

458
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:09.200
up to his home to play jinga. She agreed, and

459
00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:12.519
while playing, she noticed that the pieces had dares written

460
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:16.319
on them, like take a shot. She remembered taking one

461
00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:19.200
shot and may have had a part of a white claw.

462
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:23.920
After that, things got fuzzy. She did not know what happened,

463
00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:26.839
but she ended up with bite marks on her arms.

464
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:29.960
She said she had met with him at about eleven

465
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.279
thirty am, but did not feel able to drive home,

466
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:37.279
so she had to spend the night. Based on these facts,

467
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:44.000
your fate is requesting an arrest warrant. Holy shit, y'all?

468
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:50.440
Is that not crazy? And you notice his mo is

469
00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:53.559
the same in every one of these cases. Let's play jinga?

470
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:55.720
And why did he have him play jinga? Because he

471
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:58.240
had the dares written on those one of those dares

472
00:30:58.279 --> 00:31:02.240
being take a shot and the shot had the drug

473
00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:07.720
in it. Right, What a fucking psycho. So it's not

474
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:12.880
looking good for doctor Matthews right well, it would get worse,

475
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:19.200
much much worse. Before the dust settled, Doctor Matthews would

476
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:24.880
become the most prolific serial rapist in the history of

477
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:31.839
the state of Colorado. So more information is discovered when

478
00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:36.039
he shows up to enter his plea on the second arrest,

479
00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:39.880
And that was on October fifth of twenty twenty three,

480
00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:45.839
and the Denver newspaper read like this. A Denver cardiologist

481
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:49.119
accused of drugging and sexually assaulting women he met through

482
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:53.519
dating apps, was arraigned on more than fifty felony counts

483
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:58.720
On Friday, Doctor Stephen Matthews, thirty five, a board certified

484
00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:03.640
cardiologist and entireeral medicine physician, pleaded not guilty to fifty

485
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:08.440
one counts, including sexual assault and drugging. Matthews was first

486
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:11.680
arrested in March on three counts of sexual assault. And

487
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:15.160
I've already told y'all all of that. In the initial case,

488
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.960
a woman told police she met Matthews on hinge and

489
00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:21.440
blacked out while on a date with him. Douglas Combe,

490
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:24.960
one of Matthew's attorneys, said in April that Matthews was

491
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:28.559
innocent and claimed there was a failure to fully investigate

492
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:33.799
the case. The accuser's story simply don't add up, police

493
00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:38.039
admitted from their arrest affidavit. Many details that contradict her

494
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:42.720
claim of no consent, and he's talking about the first victim.

495
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:46.519
Matthews was released with custody on a fifty thousand dollars

496
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:50.200
bond for the March arrest. Following media reports on his arrest.

497
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:53.160
In that case, more women were reported being drugged and

498
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:57.160
or sexually assaulted. He was arrested again in May after

499
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:00.400
nine more women came forward, with most meeting him on

500
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:04.440
hinge or tender as far back as twenty nineteen. Several

501
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:08.000
of the women reported filling ill on dates with Matthews

502
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:11.640
at his home and then blacking out. One reported her

503
00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:14.960
next memory was crawling across his bedroom floor naked and

504
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:18.880
yelling at him. Another woman told police she had become

505
00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:22.960
ill while on a date at a restaurant. Matthews is

506
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:25.680
being held on a five million dollar bond at a

507
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:29.279
Denver jail and is scheduled to next imperiod court on

508
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:33.359
December twenty eight for emotions hearing. The arrangement comes after

509
00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:36.960
a judge world last month that there was enough evidence

510
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:40.400
for Matthews to stand trial in the case. Steven Berg

511
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:43.559
with the Burg Simpson Law firm, which is representing some

512
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:46.160
of the women in civil court, said that he planned

513
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:49.880
to follow a lawsuit once criminal proceedings are over, alleging

514
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:53.720
Matthews was never removed from the dating apps despite being

515
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:57.039
reported for sexual assault, And that's what I was wanting

516
00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:00.880
to get at here. They planned to name the match Group,

517
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:04.920
a parent company of Hinge and Tender, as a defendant. Generally,

518
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:07.720
I would just say that he was being reported early

519
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:10.239
on in the process and on the dating app for

520
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:15.280
years after being reported as a rapist, So this is

521
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:18.519
some bitch. People were getting in touch with Hinge and

522
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:21.480
Tender and saying, Hey, this asshole, I think he raped me.

523
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:23.679
I blacked out, So I don't have any proof, but

524
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:28.679
I blacked out should be enough, right, Yet they didn't

525
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:32.880
even cancel this dude's account after being reported. But y'all,

526
00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:37.800
fifty felony counts against this guy. So not only now

527
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:40.679
is the city of Denver in the state of Colorado

528
00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:45.360
just railing over all of this. But with this new information,

529
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:48.840
the story is catching on nationally. I mean, this is

530
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:54.000
a damn hard doctor right well, as I see happen

531
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.559
all the time. The more popular of the case, the

532
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:01.639
more details will leak. Some pretty the sick details regarding

533
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:05.159
this asshole emerged, and one article that caught my eye

534
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:08.880
referenced the use of his dog in his sick game.

535
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:14.119
And here's how that article read. From a Denver newspaper

536
00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:18.119
on October thirteenth of twenty twenty three, the attorney for

537
00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:22.159
victims of a Denver cardiologist accused of meeting women on

538
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:25.199
dating apps then drugging and raping them, says there could

539
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:28.840
be upwards of sixty victims involved in a civil case

540
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:33.440
against the doctor. Doctor Steven Matthews, thirty six, faces fifty

541
00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:36.599
one felony counts in a criminal court in connection with

542
00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:40.960
thirteen victims. He has entered a not guilty plea if

543
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:43.840
y'all notice those victims went up because more people were

544
00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:47.679
coming forward. Prosecutors say that as early as twenty nineteen,

545
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:50.719
Matthews would meet with women he met on dating apps

546
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:54.239
and then slipped something into their drink. The victims would

547
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:57.400
often black out or become disoriented, which led to them

548
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:00.679
being unable to remember most of the encounters. Would Matthews

549
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:04.239
police arresting him in March of twenty twenty three, and

550
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:07.239
he is now being held in a five million dollar bond,

551
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.400
with his criminal trial expected to get under way in

552
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:14.880
March of twenty twenty four, Stephen Berg, representing dozens of

553
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:18.320
victims in the civil case, said he would build trust

554
00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:21.280
and give them a drink, usually close to his home,

555
00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:26.079
and then drug them. They would be very, very impaired

556
00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:28.480
and not know what's going on, and he would sexually

557
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:31.920
assault them. He was savvy and able to build trust.

558
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:34.559
He'd say, let's meet in a public place and talk

559
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:38.000
about his dog, and then oftentimes use that as an

560
00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:41.159
excuse to head back to his house or apartment. He

561
00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:44.079
would say he needed to walk his dog or feed

562
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:48.199
his dog. Berg said the women who didn't know what

563
00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:51.119
had happened to them heard stories from other victims, and

564
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:53.880
then things started to click in the place for them.

565
00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:56.920
They wanted to put this all behind them, but now

566
00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:59.639
they want to make sure and stand up and provide

567
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:03.760
some change so this doesn't happen again. You know, quite frankly,

568
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:06.199
every time a story is run on this, there are

569
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:09.320
more and more survivors coming forward saying, oh my gosh,

570
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:11.880
I'm hearing about this for the first time, and I

571
00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:14.599
want to do my part to make sure this doesn't happen.

572
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:17.760
Some of these survivors are going to have to talk

573
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:20.199
to about some of the most personal things in their

574
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:25.079
life in a public setting. I'm inspired by their strength, etc.

575
00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:29.880
Match Group owns about eighty percent of the online dating

576
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:32.960
market share, and they own a number of specific apps,

577
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:36.320
including engine Tender and so you know. One of the

578
00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:39.840
failures of match Group was when Matthew was reported as

579
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:43.280
a rapist. He continued to be on their website for

580
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:48.800
multiple years afterward. Bird said the report was made by

581
00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:52.159
a victim of an assault, but it was before criminal

582
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:55.639
charges were filed. The victim was told Matthews will be

583
00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:58.599
removed from the app, but Bird says that didn't happen.

584
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:01.159
What's been reported is whole and has no place on

585
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:06.159
our platforms that from match Group. So there you have it.

586
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:10.719
The whole nation at this point knows about all this.

587
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:11.239
Now.

588
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:16.480
Doctor Matthews, y'all, he lived when he was arresting in

589
00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:21.719
a very upscale apartment building, not a house. So if

590
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:25.039
you're doing this sort of thing, it's probably a little

591
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:28.639
harder to hide it with people coming and going, right,

592
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.599
especially remember that affidavit I just read you. How many

593
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:34.800
people were coming and going? How many ladies? What would

594
00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:39.559
the neighbors think? Well, in this next club, his neighbor

595
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:45.280
in that building describes what she saw and thought listen to.

596
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:50.079
This definitely had a reputation of being a player, just

597
00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:53.840
girl after girl after girl. Most every time they came home.

598
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:57.880
There was, you know, girl shoes outside his apartment. Every

599
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.599
time he saw him either at the pool with a

600
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:03.599
different girl, kind of the foot traffic in and out

601
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:05.199
was just girls in, girls out.

602
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:09.119
Now, as time went on, it got worse for this

603
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:13.960
neighbor and very disturbing. One night, that same neighbor, she

604
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:16.400
walks out of her apartment and right in front of

605
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:21.000
his door. She saw what she describes in the next

606
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:26.639
club and even took a picture, which she supplied to police.

607
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:30.719
And here's what she sounded like, describing.

608
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:37.440
That face down, topless, completely passed out. I just came

609
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:40.679
across her, and again there was something in me that

610
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:43.320
made me even think to take a photo to begin with.

611
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:47.719
In this picture, y'all, I've seen it. It's shocking. This

612
00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:51.679
lady is passed out, nothing but a thong, sprawled out

613
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:56.280
in front of this assholes front door. I mean, how

614
00:39:56.679 --> 00:40:00.400
arrogant did this guy have to be just to the

615
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:03.280
girl in front of his front door like that in

616
00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:09.800
an apartment building? So the trial starts for Steven Matthews.

617
00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:13.320
This is on July fifteenth of twenty twenty four, and

618
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:16.159
there were no TV crews allowed in for this one,

619
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:21.159
which I think was the right decision. These are sexual

620
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:25.440
assault victims and they deserve to have their identity protected. Now,

621
00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:30.320
during this trial, many of the women testified about their experience,

622
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:34.239
and I'm going to reference an article now that covers

623
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:37.639
the testimony of one of these women who recounted her

624
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:43.320
date with Stephen Matthews. A woman who met Stephen Matthews

625
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:46.320
on a dating app and subsequently got together with him

626
00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:49.679
in twenty twenty three, testified Wednesday in a Denver court

627
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.400
room that she believed the cardiologist spiked the drink he

628
00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:56.199
made for her home. She said the drink left her incapacitated,

629
00:40:56.400 --> 00:40:59.280
hindered her ability to walk and speak, and that after

630
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:02.000
drinking with the doctor, she had little memory of what

631
00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:08.000
happened next. She testified what happened left her traumatized and upset.

632
00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:12.119
The woman who appeared Wednesday met Matthews on the dating

633
00:41:12.159 --> 00:41:15.159
app Hinge. They met at a restaurant where she had

634
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:18.679
tequila in a mixed drink. Following that, she went with

635
00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:22.599
Matthews to his town home, where she was offered tequila,

636
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:27.400
which she did not see him prepare. She said after

637
00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:31.400
ingesting a small portion of the drink, she became incapacitated

638
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:34.920
and said he put me in a headlock position I

639
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:39.679
couldn't escape from and kissed me. Under direct examination, the

640
00:41:39.719 --> 00:41:43.199
woman said she lost control of her body, the ability

641
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:46.079
to walk and speak, and does not have memories of

642
00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:49.880
large portions of the night. She took a neighbor home,

643
00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:52.800
threw up in the car, and recalled waking up on

644
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:56.679
the bathroom floor with vomit in the bathtub. The woman

645
00:41:56.840 --> 00:42:01.159
testified she had never had a reaction like that drinking alcohol.

646
00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:05.760
The woman said she felt nauseous, dizzy, confused, afraid, and

647
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:09.159
drove herself to an urgent care facility the day after

648
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:12.480
a date seeking a drug test for a possible date

649
00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:16.039
rape drug. The facility did not have the material for

650
00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:20.239
testing and suggested she go to the hospital, but she declined.

651
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.800
I was feeling traumatized and upset, and I wanted to

652
00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:27.159
be at home where I felt safe, she said. She

653
00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:31.280
said what happened really scared her. She later reported what

654
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:35.599
happened to the Hinge dating app filed an anonymous complaint

655
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:39.039
with the Colorado Medical Board and told her primary care

656
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:44.199
physician what happened. When police searched Matthew's cellphone following his arrest,

657
00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:46.880
they found a video he had taken of the very

658
00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:50.599
woman doing a cartwheel in his townhouse on the night

659
00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:53.239
in question. I don't have any memory of that moment

660
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:57.440
in time or the video taken, she testified. Under cross

661
00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:01.039
examination by Matthew's defense team, the woman was asked about

662
00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:03.559
a fall she had taken a week or two prior

663
00:43:03.599 --> 00:43:06.119
to the date. She said she had slipped on some

664
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:08.880
ice while walking her dog, fell and hit her head.

665
00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:12.480
The defense seemed to be trying to suggest her symptoms

666
00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:16.599
on that night in question could be traced back to

667
00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:21.360
the earlier fall. Jurors also asked questions about the fall.

668
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:25.559
Was it a hard fall? Did you receive bruising or swelling? No,

669
00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:29.840
responded the witness. Another juror asked if Matthews had permission

670
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:33.159
to take the pictures or video of her, and she responded,

671
00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:36.960
I did not give him permission. The trials scheduled to

672
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:39.000
run through the end of the next month, and Matthews

673
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:41.760
is chasing thirty eight charges and is being held in

674
00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:47.239
jail on a five million dollar bond. Wow. So something

675
00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:49.679
else I found interesting in this case is that the

676
00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:52.159
mother of one of the victims was able to tell

677
00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:55.440
her story on the stand during the trial. I just

678
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:59.000
could not imagine dealing with this as a parent of

679
00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:04.000
two girls off and it was covered in the Denver paper.

680
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:08.960
And here's what that experience sounded like. The mother of

681
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:11.400
a woman who went on a date with doctor Stephen

682
00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:16.320
Matthews testified Thursday morning that after seeing her daughter following

683
00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:19.920
the date, she suspected there was a big problem. I'm

684
00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:24.320
feeling like she's been drugged and sexually assaulted. The mother testified,

685
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:28.000
recounting her feelings at that time. She was not making sense,

686
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:31.360
she was so dazed. The testimonty came as part of

687
00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:35.239
the prosecution's case against the Denver cardiologists, who was facing

688
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:39.679
thirty eight felony charges for allegedly drugging eleven women and

689
00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:43.320
then sexually assaulting nine of them. Matthews is pleaded not

690
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:47.679
guilty to the chargers. The women generally met Matthews via

691
00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:50.639
dating apps like Hinge and Tender, but say after going

692
00:44:50.679 --> 00:44:53.519
on a date with him, they believe he pampered with

693
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:57.559
their drinks, leaving them with memory laws in some cases, illness,

694
00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:01.480
and physical signs that they had been assaulted. One woman

695
00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:04.079
who met Matthew's on Hinge said that she went on

696
00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:07.039
a brunch date with him in January of twenty twenty three.

697
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:10.960
She said after mimosa's at a restaurant, she then went

698
00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:13.960
to his West Denver home, where she had another mimosa

699
00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:17.480
that she said Matthew's prepared. The woman said she soon

700
00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:21.000
began feeling poorly and lost memory the rest of the date.

701
00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:25.000
Matthews later claimed the woman agreed to have consensual sex

702
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:28.519
with him and then vomited multiple times. Her mother, who

703
00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:32.079
has been a nurse for forty two years, sat on

704
00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:34.559
the stand. Her daughter was not making sense in a

705
00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:38.360
phone conversation, and she went to her daughter's apartment. She

706
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:41.440
looked really dazed, didn't know where she was. She said.

707
00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:44.840
Her daughter was foggy and it was terrifying. Her mother

708
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:48.280
took her to the hospital for a rape examination, which

709
00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:53.039
the mother described as horrific. Sheer, anguish, unbearable. She said.

710
00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:55.519
Her daughter told a nurse, I think I was drugged

711
00:45:55.519 --> 00:45:59.840
and sexually assaulted. The daughter later said she discovered Hickey's

712
00:45:59.880 --> 00:46:02.920
on her chest, but did not recall having the kind

713
00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:08.559
of physical interaction with Matthews. On cross examination, Matthew's attorney

714
00:46:08.559 --> 00:46:12.320
Douglas Combe raised the issue of alleged victim's use of marijuana,

715
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:16.239
which shut up in scientific testing. Combe pressed the woman's

716
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:20.039
mother and her daughter's drinking habits, which the mother said

717
00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:23.320
were minimal. And that's pretty pathetic, y'all. I mean, I

718
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:26.360
know he has to do his job as a defense attorney,

719
00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:32.159
but he's basically saying, because this girl smoked marijuana, you know,

720
00:46:33.159 --> 00:46:36.920
maybe that's why she forgot she got raped. Disgusting. In

721
00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:40.880
earlier Thursday testimony, a friend of the alleged victim who

722
00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:43.480
saw her after the date said she had seen the

723
00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:47.159
woman drunk before, but that this was different. I never

724
00:46:47.199 --> 00:46:49.920
saw her disoriented like this. It was clear to me

725
00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:55.519
that something was wrong. So that is a mother's perspective

726
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:59.639
on that. So the prosecutors rest their case and the

727
00:46:59.679 --> 00:47:04.679
defense rest their case, and on August twelfth of twenty

728
00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:12.320
twenty four, doctor Stephen Matthews is found guilty on thirty

729
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:18.400
five of thirty eight counts of rape against eleven different women.

730
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:22.719
And here is how that read. In the Denver Paper.

731
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:28.119
A former Denver cardiologist charged with drugging and sexually assaulting

732
00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:32.039
nearly a dozen women, was found guilty on Tuesday on

733
00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:35.280
off but three counts that were brought against him. Stephen

734
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:39.920
Matthews was convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting multiple women,

735
00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:43.159
and was originally arrested in March of twenty twenty three

736
00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:46.079
after a woman first reported to Denver police she was

737
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:49.840
drugged during a brunch dape and sexually assaulted at his home.

738
00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:52.960
Two months later, Matthews was arrested for a second time

739
00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:57.199
after nine more women came forward with similar allegations, reporting

740
00:47:57.239 --> 00:48:00.280
that they met Matthews online and after a Greenedy meet

741
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:04.719
for drinks, lost large portions of their memory. The allegations

742
00:48:04.800 --> 00:48:09.079
date back to twenty nineteen. In total, eleven women came

743
00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:12.679
forward with allegations of Matthews drugging them. Nine of them

744
00:48:12.719 --> 00:48:16.400
reported sexual assaults to the police, facing thirty eight charges.

745
00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:20.760
In total, prosecutors presented dozens of witnesses and hundreds of

746
00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:24.320
pieces of evidence to the jury. Stephen Matthews had a

747
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:27.920
deliberate and very particular way of identifying and selecting the

748
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:31.880
targets that would eventually perpetrate against him, set a prosecutor

749
00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:35.880
during closing arguments. This is an obvious, obvious case of

750
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:39.519
a man who feels entitled to perpetrate against women for

751
00:48:39.559 --> 00:48:43.880
his own benefit by robbing them of memory, by robbing

752
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:47.840
them of bodily autonomy, and by impairing their memories, only

753
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:51.320
to have them come in and testify and criticize them

754
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:55.840
for the fact that their memories don't exist. The defense

755
00:48:56.000 --> 00:49:00.320
argued that the prosecution's case lacked evidence. Merely get up

756
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:03.239
here and telling a story. It's evidence for you to consider,

757
00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:06.039
but it's not proof beyond a reasonable doubt unless you

758
00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:09.039
think it is. It's just an accusation. It's just an

759
00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:13.239
allegation that from the defense attorney. Don't let the volume

760
00:49:13.280 --> 00:49:17.719
of accusations override your common sense and your reasonableness. During

761
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:21.400
the verdict Tuesday, Matthews was found guilty on thirty five

762
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:24.840
of thirty eight counts. His bomb was also revoked following

763
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:28.239
a request from prosecutors, So they're not going to allow

764
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:31.239
him to bond out and then come back to get sentenced,

765
00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:34.480
which is good because he probably all last right. Steven

766
00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:37.360
Matthews took advantage of nearly a dozen women in the

767
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:41.599
most egregious way imaginable, and for that he will now

768
00:49:41.679 --> 00:49:46.559
pay a significant price, said Denver Da Beth McCann in

769
00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:50.639
a prepared statement. I hope today's verdict provides a measure

770
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:54.199
of comfort to all the victims, whose courage throughout this

771
00:49:54.360 --> 00:49:58.559
case should be an inspiration to all of us. And

772
00:49:58.760 --> 00:50:06.159
sentencing four doctor Stephen Matthews is scheduled for October twenty

773
00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:13.360
fifth of twenty twenty four at one thirty pm. Mean, y'all,

774
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:20.159
it was so bad that it took the judge nineteen

775
00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:25.320
minutes just to read out all of the guilty verdicts

776
00:50:25.480 --> 00:50:31.159
against doctor Stephen Matthews. This cardiologist, who I'm sure worked

777
00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:34.800
very hard to get his education at the age of

778
00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:42.159
thirty six, threw it all away and in the process

779
00:50:42.199 --> 00:50:48.239
became the worst serial rapist in Colorado history and one

780
00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:53.159
of the worst in United States history. So I told

781
00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:55.840
y'all at the start that I had my own idea

782
00:50:56.519 --> 00:51:01.320
of why Stephen Matthews chose dating apps to lure his victims,

783
00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:05.400
And for me, I think he looked at dating apps

784
00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:09.159
as a way to commit these acts without having an

785
00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:14.440
emotional connection to the victim. He didn't know them on

786
00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:19.559
any level, and so in his mind he could do

787
00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:23.719
all of these things and not feel guilty for it.

788
00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:29.440
I also think that he was such a narcissist that

789
00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:32.559
he felt that if these women were on dating apps

790
00:51:33.320 --> 00:51:37.400
that they were more desperate for a partner than someone

791
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:45.039
who was not, and looked at these women as easy targets. Now,

792
00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:49.159
single ladies out there, I'm talking to you right now

793
00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:53.920
because I love y'all. Y'all are listening to my podcast,

794
00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:58.079
and I really do care about every single person that listens.

795
00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:01.639
It takes the time to listen to me when I'm

796
00:52:01.679 --> 00:52:06.039
behind a microphone. So I'm talking to you, ladies. Single ladies,

797
00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:14.760
be extra careful on dating apps. This is where these

798
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:25.119
sick assholes are lurking. Unfortunately, technology has made it much

799
00:52:25.239 --> 00:52:32.480
easier for sexual predators to find their prey. Most of

800
00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:36.519
the people on these apps are good people, right, but

801
00:52:36.599 --> 00:52:41.360
I promise you there's some sickos on there, just like

802
00:52:41.480 --> 00:52:44.519
this one. And if you do meet someone, meet them

803
00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:48.840
in a public setting, and sometimes that won't even save you.

804
00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:53.400
Doctor Matthews he always met these women in public settings,

805
00:52:54.679 --> 00:53:01.119
but never go back to their house, never leave an

806
00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:07.239
unattended drink around them, and never accept a drink from them.

807
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:13.239
If you meet someone through a dating app, assume just

808
00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:18.320
assume they have bad intentions and make them prove otherwise.

809
00:53:18.840 --> 00:53:22.440
The good ones that are worth it, they don't mind

810
00:53:22.599 --> 00:53:25.719
having to approved to you that they're good peeps. So

811
00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:31.679
I will definitely update all of you once this piece

812
00:53:31.800 --> 00:53:48.760
of shit gets sentenced, and before I get out of here.

813
00:53:49.639 --> 00:53:54.719
