Manhattan man indicted for ‘repeatedly’ drugging, raping 14-year-old girl for months: DA
Michael Olson, 54, is charged with five counts of rape in the second degree, two counts of criminal sexual act in the second degree, seven counts of aggravated patronizing of a minor for prostitution in the second degree, one count of criminal sale of a controlled substance to a child, one count of endangering the welfare of a child, and one count of facilitating a sex offense with a controlled substance.
“My office is actively investigating these allegations and the potential that the defendant’s criminal conduct reaches much farther than the charges contained in today’s indictment,” he said. Court documents and statements showed that, in December 2022, Olson found the victim’s Instagram profile and responded to a post she made about clothes. Olson then allegedly sent her a gift card for clothing and began to pay her to spend time with him. Over the next six months, the defendant “repeatedly raped the child, paying her approximately $700 a week to engage in sexual conduct in hotel rooms in Queens and Manhattan,” according to the DA.
He was arrested last month, when paramedics responded to a call of the child overdosing on drugs in a hotel room in Manhattan. Olson was allegedly present at the scene, where numerous narcotics were present, including cocaine, ketamine, and Xanax. The girl was transported to the hospital and recovered there.
