That is 48-year-old Rodney Stover, a man arrested after raping a young woman at a NY joint! Not much of a shocker here, Rodney is actually a convicted sex offender, it appears he went back to his old ways when he allegedly raped a 23-year-old in the bathroom of an upscale Manhattan bar, reports say.
Rodney who was arrested on Wednesday allegedly forced himself on a 23-year-old student on Saturday inside the bathroom of Turnmill pub located in Manhattan’s posh Gramercy Park neighborhood.
It is believed he followed his victim –described as a Long Island student –to the basement bathroom, immediately pushing her into a bathroom stall; other sources say he could have also been waiting for her while hiding at another bathroom stall.
Stover who lives in a shelter three blocks away from the bar, told his victim “I will f—— kill you…I am going to rape you” pulling her pants down.
He has been charged with sex abuse and predatory sexual assault. He is being held with no bail after prosecutors recounted he had been incarcerated in upstate New York and Pennsylvania for more than 20 years following a 1993 rape conviction. He was released in 2012, the NY Daily News reports.
