Colorado doctor accused of drugging, raping women he met on dating apps
An estimated hundreds of thousands of rape kits sit untested in police departments nationwide, according to the Joyful Heart Foundation, a group that helps sexual assault victims. A Denver cardiologist has been charged with drugging and sexually assaulting a string of women he met on the dating apps Hinge and Tinder, court papers allege. Stephen Matthews, 35, was first arrested March 22 based on one victim's disturbing accusations. Widespread reports of the allegations prompted nine other women to come forward, officials said. On Monday, Matthews was arrested on the new charges outside the Denver District Courthouse after making an appearance on the initial case.
