Former Doctor Sentenced for Serial Sexual Assaults

In Colorado, former cardiologist Stephen Matthews was sentenced to 158 years in prison after being convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting multiple women he met through dating apps over four years. Matthews, described by survivors as a 'narcissistic monster', was found guilty of 35 counts involving 11 victims, with prosecutors suspecting he may have targeted many more. During the emotional sentencing, which included testimony from 21 victims and their families, survivors shared the lasting trauma they endure from Matthews's actions, with many detailing the psychological scars and physical consequences they suffer. Judge Eric Johnson condemned Matthews for diminishing the world with his crimes and highlighted the overwhelming evidence against him. Meanwhile, a 76-year-old man, Carl Ray Jordan, was sentenced to 44 years for sexually assaulting a child while working at a non-profit for children, with multiple victims identified dating back to 2014. These cases underscore the ongoing issues of sexual violence and abuse in the community.
