A former United Nations (UN) employee has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for raping at least 20 women.
Naomi Buchwald, a Manhattan federal judge, passed his sentence on Thursday, saying the defendant had given his victims drugs to cloud their memories of the assaults.
She recalled feeling incapacitated on the car ride to his apartment, where she regained consciousness to find Elkorany raping her.The 31-year-old described her memories of that night as “snapshots suspended in darkness”, saying the trauma that followed plagued her like cancer. “This is not a ‘he said, she said’ case,” Buchwald said as she read some of the written statements submitted by victims.“The drugging of victims was totally reckless. Mr. Elkorany made no effort to learn whether the drugs he used on his victims would cause permanent harm.
“The United Nations welcomes the efforts of the United States authorities in ensuring that Mr. Karim Elkorany is held to account for his criminal conduct,” he said.
