PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A nursing student told women he met on an online dating site that he was a doctor, an astronaut or spy in a ruse to lure them out so he could drug and rape them, a prosecutor said Monday.
Jeffrey J. Marsalis, the 34-year-old on-and-off student, met six of the seven women he is accused of raping on Match.com, prosecutor Joseph Khan said in opening statements of Marsalis' trial Monday.
"He seemed well-spoken. He seemed well-educated. He seemed intelligent. He seemed charming," the prosecutor said. "None of these people knew the real Jeffrey Marsalis."
