The Daily Mail reports:
An Ohio restaurateur who drew headlines after announcing a boycott of the Olympics over its controversial Last Supper recreation is now facing a string of serious criminal charges. Bobby George, 43, turned himself in this week on charges of attempted murder, kidnapping, strangulation, assault and rape in relation to the alleged abuse of a woman between November 2023 and July 2024.
According to a warrant, George’s alleged victim said she lived with the businessman, and suffered a barrage of abuse including being attacked at gunpoint. In one alleged instance, George is accused of shoving a towel down the woman’s throat and asking her: ‘You think God is going to help you?’ Last month, George drew the spotlight after announcing his businesses would boycott the Olympics, which he branded ‘insulting to the Christian faith.’
Cleveland’s Fox affiliate reports:
Court records said George posted bond following his arraignment hearing and turned over his passport. The case also has been bound over to the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas. The arrest warrant also said George threw her around the home they shared.
The warrant said George refused to let the victim leave the home during this altercation. The victim tried to hide in the closet of the home during this incident, according to the warrant.
The warrant claims George also raped the victim as she was coming out of the shower in one instance. In another alleged attack, the warrant said George is accused of throwing the victim into a closet as she tried to leave.
First of all, that wasn’t a Last Supper recreation. Secondly, how does the owner of Ohio restaurants “boycott” the Olympics? The list of restaurants is at the second link above.
