British dotcom millionaire in rape-and-drugs row
David Atherton, a British entrepreneur who sold e-commerce site Dabs.com to BT for $55.7 million in 2006, is going to need some of that money for his legal defense. A 49-year-old woman has accused him of abducting and trying to rape her in his $2.8 million home. Police also charged Atherton with "threats to kill, false imprisonment and possession of a Class A drug," which could be ecstasy, LSD, heroin, cocaine, crack, mushrooms, or amphetamines. Not, as far as we can tell, OC-40.
