Man allegedly rapes co-worker at hotel

Timothy George, of Queensbury, NY, was formally charged with rape of a 22 year old coworker in a room at a hotel where they both worked.

On September 9th, Harvey allegedly raped the woman, then threatened harm if she told, but she told both police and a supervisor, who then took her to a hospital. Harvey allegedly denied the rape when confronted by police.

The article goes on to say,

The victim gave a "very prompt, almost instant, outcry to a (hotel) supervisor," Warren County District Attorney Kate Hogan said. "There is medical corroboration."

Harvey is being held in Warren County Jail for lack of bail pending arraignment in Warren County Court. He is being represented by the Warren County Public Defender's Office.


Harvey's criminal history goes back to 2005, when he was arrested for physically assaulting his brother. He was arrested in September and initially charge with 3rd degree rape, which requires lack of consent only, as opposed to 1st degree rape, which requires force or coercion. First-degree rape is punishable by up to 25 years in state prison.
