The US may have used months of solitary confinement to “pressure” jailed Russian gun activist Maria Butina into pleading guilty, international law attorney and former Pennsylvania State Senator Bruce Marks told RT.

Butina likely pleaded guilty to “very technical charges” as she expected not to “serve prison time” and hoped that she would be “returned to Russia,” Marks said.

The woman, living in the US on a student visa, was detained in July and accused of secretly working for the Kremlin to infiltrate the National Rifle Association (NRA) and establish ties with the Republican Party. The officials in Moscow denied the allegations.

As part of the plea deal, struck this week, Butina admitted to having “sought to establish unofficial lines of communication with Americans having power and influence over US politics,” while doing so on behalf of the Russian government.

Maria Butina pleads guilty to US charge of conspiring to act as foreign agent



The deal came after the Russian national spent months in solitary confinement. Speaking to RT, Bruce Marks argued that there was “no safety concern” to trigger such measures against her and suggested it may have been done to “pressure” her into pleading guilty.

Being in solitary confinement is very difficult. She’s alone here in the United States – 22 hours a day in a cell. That’s clearly going to have some impact on her.

The harsh treatment of Butina was earlier denounced by Russian diplomats and the woman’s father, who told RT that it “had a negative impact on her mental and physical condition.”

Marks, who served in the Pennsylvania State Senate, emphasized that Butina never did things like actual spying or sharing classified materials. “We have a very technical law that says if you’re ‘representing’ a foreign government or an official, you have to register. That’s the technicality she violated,” he noted.

“We’re not talking about Ethel Rosenberg,” the legal expert said, referring to a woman executed in the 1950s for giving away the US atomic secrets and other classified information to the Soviets.

She [Butina] wasn’t a spy. The concept of a spy is someone who’s obtaining secrets from the government. That didn’t happen at all.

President Donald Trump’s former longtime lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty this week to a list of federal crimes as the controversy surrounding him reached a climax.

On Tuesday, Cohen cut a deal with federal prosecutors and pleaded guilty to five counts of tax evasion, one count of making a false statement to a financial institution, and two counts related to campaign-finance violations.

Stephen Hays is the managing partner of Deep Space Ventures, a $ 20 million venture capital fund based in Dallas. He’s also a convicted felon. What that means is a matter of interpretation in a dispute over the details of an ugly scene near a bar at a ski resort.

In November, Hays pleaded guilty to attempted assault and attempted extortion. Judge Paul Dunkelman in Eagle County District Court (the court with jurisdiction over Vail, Colorado) sentenced Hays to 90 days in jail and four years of probation. The jail sentence was suspended, and the sentence on the extortion charge was deferred. Hays also now faces a civil suit related to the case, and he has countersued, alleging he was both physically and sexually assaulted during the same incident.

Hays is an active investor in esports and tech companies. His fund has invested in startups such as Battlefy, Optic Gaming, FanAI, Infinite Esports & Entertainment, Haste, PlayVS, and Mobalytics. The company has made 19 investments since March 2016.

“I maintain I am innocent here, even though I had to take a plea deal,” Hays told VentureBeat in an interview. “It’s not pleasant. I feel my character is being assassinated and I want to defend that. I ended up in a ‘he said, he said’ [dispute]. It’s the fallout from a guys’ weekend in Vail. My former buddy is out to inflict some damage on me and tell lies.”

The incident occurred in Vail, Colorado, on January 20, 2017, after a day of skiing. Hays alleges he was tired and trying to extricate himself from the company of his friend and a “sloppy drunk woman.” He acknowledged that everyone at the bar had been drinking, and that they were thrown out.

Hays claims they were thrown out due to the woman’s behavior, but everyone else interviewed for this story put the blame on Hays.

The incident — and some of what happened before it — was captured on video. A security camera from the bar shows the group leaving, according to a video that Hays showed me. The woman, Shelby Spears, tried to jump into the arms of Hays, and she also tried to lift his shirt. Hays was clearly annoyed at what was happening, and at one point he pointed at the security camera. She grabbed his crotch, the video shows, and Hays said that is the basis for his sexual assault countersuit against Spears.

“I had some drinks. But I was not heavily intoxicated. You see she was jumping all over me. I maintained my posture well,” Hays said.

A second video showed Hays and the group walking along a road, where Hays was recording video in case he needed it for evidence later on. The video shows they are angry at each other.

Spears, 25, said in an interview with VentureBeat that she did not know Hays before that night. She said the group had been kicked out of the bar because of verbal outbursts by Hays.

What happened next, as the group walked up some stairs toward a bus stop, is disputed. Spears said that Hays struck her, causing her to fall down a set of stairs. She said Hays did not stop to help her. Hays said he did not strike the woman, and she fell on her own down the stairs. He said none of the witnesses saw the actual moment of the alleged assault. Rather, they only saw the aftermath of the woman lying on the ground at the bottom of the stairs.

But a security camera video (provided via an Open Records Act request by VentureBeat) shows that Spears was standing in a landing area as Hays was approaching her, moving up the stairs. The view is blurry, and only shows what happened from a distance. You can check out the video below for yourself to see if you see anything clearly. Some people I have shown this video to say they cannot tell what happened from the footage.

Hays and Spears come close to each other. Hays’ arm apparently reaches out. Spears abruptly falls backward down the stairs, as if she were propelled. Two other men in the group evidently heard what happened. But they were facing the other way. They both turned around, and then stopped to assist Spears at the bottom of the stairs. Hays, however, kept walking away from the group.

“I let her go ahead of me. I had been trying to create separation,” Hays said. “She closes the gap. Then she falls.”

“It’s clear that [Hays] assaults her in the video,” said Joseph Kirwan, chief deputy district attorney for Eagle County, in an interview with VentureBeat. “Then she hits the ground. There wasn’t much doubt about it.”

A witness to the circumstances around the incident — but not the moment the incident happened — said Spears had to be taken to a hospital, and a photo of her after the incident showed her with a set of black eyes and other head injuries. The witness asked not to be identified. Spears said that Hays struck her with his fist.

“I am 110 pounds,” Spears said. “He is big. My black eye lasted about two weeks, and I had short-term memory effects. There was a huge knot on my head.”

Hays acknowledged that he did not stay behind to help. Rather, he said he used the opportunity to finally make his exit from the group, as he saw there was a crowd of people helping the woman. He had been trying to get away from the group for a while, he said.

“I saw she would be taken care of,” Hays said. “I said I would keep distance. I didn’t want to escalate, tried to create separation.”

The witness claimed that Hays flipped them off as he walked away, and the video shows Hays making such a gesture at the group as he walked away. There is no sound on that security camera video. Hays acknowledged that he is the person walking away and making the gesture.

Hays said that no one reported the crime immediately. Rather, he said they waited about four days. Hays was not arrested until June 7, 2017, almost six months after the incident.

Hays claimed that his former buddy, whom he stayed with, became angry that Hays had told his own wife what happened. Hays’ wife purportedly told the buddy’s fiance about the other woman, and that got the buddy in trouble. After that, Hays alleges that the buddy turned on him and retaliated with the police complaint.

Before that happened, Hays said that no one said they saw the actual alleged assault occur. They only saw that the woman had fallen down the stairs. As the police report was filed days later, Hays claims the witness’ testimony changed to implicate Hays.

Then the mess got deeper. According to the witness, Hays allegedly tried to coerce the witness not to report the crime. But the witness reported both the crime and the threats. Hays reportedly sent a large number of threats via text. That was the cause for the extortion charge — to which Hays pleaded guilty. That’s where Hays said his dispute with his buddy got “out of control” and his buddy went “nuclear.” Hays said he is not proud of those text messages and he regrets sending them, but he said, “At no time did I say, ‘Don’t go to the police.’”

The witness disputes that version of the events. The witness said that the police were asked to pull the security camera videos from that night, and, after the camera videos were reviewed, the police said that they should come in to file a complaint.

“I want to do this for the better of entrepreneurs,” said the witness, who is also an entrepreneur and asked not to be identified, in an interview with VentureBeat. “If that guy was on my board, and he did things like that, he would be off my board. People need to do reverse diligence on their investors. Somebody needs to know this story. I feel it is my duty as an entrepreneur.”

Hays said that his messages to the witness were taken out of context, and that he was not trying to intimidate the witness. The extortion charge was a felony, more serious than the misdemeanor attempted assault charge.

Hays said he regrets pleading guilty, and he only did it on the advice of his attorneys. They had told him that a local jury would not look kindly on an out-of-town tourist getting into an altercation with people who were familiar as locals. The attorneys did not expect a trial to go well, and Hays said he caved to pressure from the attorneys and district attorney.

“I wanted this to be over with,” Hays said. “It was a no-win situation. It was clear it would not be a positive outcome.”

Kirwan at the district attorney’s office said he was not surprised that Hays pleaded guilty, because of the video evidence and the text messages.

The witness said that Hays’ defense about pleading guilty doesn’t make sense, as the witness is not a permanent resident of Vail, nor is Spears. The witness said the only reason to plead guilty was that the case against Hays was strong, based on the evidence for the attempted assault and the evidence for the extortion.

Spears said an attorney has filed a civil lawsuit on her behalf against Hays in Colorado. Hays has countersued. He said that Spears caused him a lasting injury when she kicked him, an act that was recorded on the cell phone video he took. Meanwhile, Hays has been actively investing, and he even wrote an op-ed about esports for VentureBeat.

Bryan Singer, the big-budget filmmaker behind multiple X-Men movies, has been sued for allegedly raping a 17-year-old boy on a yacht, and then using his position in Hollywood to threaten him into silence.

In the lawsuit, Cesar Sanchez-Guzman alleges that Singer offered to give him a tour of the yacht during a boat party near Seattle in 2003. Once cornered in a room, Singer allegedly forced the teen to perform oral sex before raping him, according to the lawsuit filed in Washington state court.

The lawsuit states that the yacht was owned by wealthy tech investor Lester Waters, and that the party was attended by a number of young gay men. Sanchez-Guzman states that he was 17 at the time of the party and did not know Singer except that he was a friend of Waters.

After the alleged assault, Sanchez-Guzman states in the lawsuit that Singer threatened to ruin his reputation if he came forward.

A representative for Singer said the filmmaker denied the allegations and “will vehemently defend this lawsuit to the very end.” The statement said the lawsuit was filed by the same lawyer who represented Michael Egan, who several years ago accused Singer and others in the industry of sexual misconduct, only to withdraw the claims and face a malicious prosecution case.

The statement was issued through Andrew Brettler, a partner at Martin Singer’s law firm, Lavely & Singer (no relation).

“Notwithstanding his track record, this same lawyer is coming after Bryan again,” it continued. “We are confident that this case will turn out the same way the Egan case did. And once Bryan prevails, he will pursue his own claims for malicious prosecution.”

Unlike other alleged victims of sexual abuse constrained by statute of limitations laws that limit when legal action can be filed, Sanchez-Guzman appears to fall within the deadline.

Washington state has a three-year statue of limitations for bringing civil action for child sexual abuse, but state courts have interpreted that legislation to mean that victims can bring an action within three years of the date when they discover how the abuse has impacted them.

“We are fortunate that the legislature in Washington state have interpreted to allow for survivors to bring cases later in life,” Daniel Fasy, an attorney in Washington state who specializes in child sex abuse cases, told BuzzFeed News. “Often times, trauma surfaces later in life. Often times, people use coping mechanisms to avoid the drama of what happens to them when they are younger. Later, they open up a Pandora’s box of feelings when they discover that much of what they were suffering in life could be related to the abuse they suffered as child.”

Seattle Police did not immediately return a request for comment Thursday night.

Singer is just the latest powerful Hollywood figure to face allegations of sexual assault and harassment, including movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and film producer Brett Ratner.

Weinstein is already facing multiple civil lawsuits regarding allegations of sexual assault. And he faces potential criminal charges in California, New York, and the UK.

Singer was recently fired from the set of Bohemian Rhapsody, in which Rami Malek is playing the late Queen singer Freddie Mercury, after the director failed to return to London, where the movie is filming. Singer said he has been caring for a sick parent, which has taken a “serious toll on my own health.”

The tide of allegations and resulting fallout against men of power in multiple arenas — including politics, media, and tech — were sparked earlier this year after the New York Times and the New Yorker published stories detailing some of the allegations.
