Mark Harris’s rape case adjourned as prosecutors await DNA results
Mark Harris, 38, appeared in New York Criminal Court on charges of raping a 25-year-old woman in her Midtown Manhattan apartment. Prosecutors say the alleged attack took place two days after he secured a six-figure job with private equity firm KKR; the firm withdrew the offer after he was charged.
The brief hearing was adjourned until 14 December while prosecutors await DNA test results, expected this autumn, though the timing is uncertain. Harris was arrested nine days after the alleged attack and released on $150,000 bail; he faces multiple rape, sexual abuse and assault counts. He denies no charges in the supplied account, and the allegations have not been tested at trial.
In short
- Mark Harris faces rape and other charges in New York.
- His KKR job offer was withdrawn after he was charged.
