Source: Raw Story
In a rambling rant posted to Facebook after closing arguments in his securities case, former Turing Pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli threatened to sexually assault a journalist he had previously stalked on Twitter that led to his banning.
According to the New York Post, Shkreli wrote, Trials over tomorrow, bitches. Then if Im acquitted, I get to f*ck Lauren Duca.
Shkreli was banned from Twitter in January after stalking the Teen Vogue editor online, photo-shopping himself into pictures with her, replacing her husband.
Alerted to Shkrelis comments, Duca responded on Twitter saying she would castrate the diminutive exec who is already looking at prison time if he comes near her.

(42,911 posts)If every time someone said they wanted to fuck someone they could be charged with a crime, the courts and prisons would be overflowing.
Just because a statement is wildly inappropriate, rude, lewd and crude doesn't mean it's illegal.

(9,527 posts)It's disgusting and meant to get a rise out of her, but it's not even close to a direct threat.
In a similar fashion the walking asshat should fall under a bus.

(111,529 posts)because my computer monitor is part of an all in one system and I don't want the PIA of replacing it right now. They had trouble finding jurors because people would just look at the guy and decide he's a dick.
