Jason Lee, With His Wife

[From article]
The Irish national was visiting her brother as he wrapped up a seasonal summer job on the East End at the time, prosecutors said.
The group eventually headed back to Lee’s swanky, $33,000-per-month summer rental in East Hampton to resume the party around 4 a.m.
According to trial testimony, the accuser and a friend hopped into a pool in their underwear before Lee stripped naked and joined them.
The woman said the nudity unnerved her and she headed inside the home to put her clothes on in a bathroom.
She testified that Lee appeared at the door still naked and barged his way in.
After covering her mouth and ordering her to be silent, he raped her, the woman testified tearfully.
East Hampton cops came to the residence after Lee’s pal became alarmed that one of the accuser’s friends borrowed his car and had not yet returned with it.

A tearful Irish woman flew 3,000 miles to testify against a former Goldman Sachs banker who she says raped her in the Hamptons. The woman said former managing director Jason Leeattacked her in the bathroom of his East Hampton rentalduring a night of partying in 2013. Identified only as Dana, the alleged victim said Lee, 38, barged into a restroom where she was changing and attacked her. “With every ounce of strength I had in me, I pulled my leg up and I kneed him in the groin,” she said as Lee looked on stoically. “He fell off. I just sat there in disbelief. I couldn’t believe it.” The woman, a student who lives in Ireland, was visiting her brother as he wrapped up a seasonal job on the East End.
