Jeffrey J. Marsalis Convicted of Sexual Assault in Match.com Internet Date Case

Jeffrey Marsalis is just another perfect example that people have to be oh so careful when dealing with people on the internet. If they sound perfect, chances are they are not.  Marsalis was accused of using a date rape drug as part of his MO. Jeffrey Marsalis made a cottage industry of using the web for his sexual assaults. One does have to wonder why the jury acquitted him of rape.

A man who faked being a doctor, an astronaut and a spy to dates he met online was convicted Wednesday of two counts of sexual assault but acquitted of raping several women who accused him of drugging them.

The jury reached its verdict on the fifth day of deliberations that were so contentious jurors were overheard shouting at each other earlier in the week. He was acquitted of eight rape counts and a count of impersonating a public servant.

Marsalis could get up to 20 years in prison for the two sexual assault counts at sentencing, set for Sept. 18. The jury could not reach a verdict on one rape count. (Fox News)
