A 41-year-old Miami biochemist is accused of drugging and raping women at his South Beach condo, according to county records and local reports.
Jeremy Bittner is charged with three counts of sexual battery with no signs of serious injury, three counts of false imprisonment and four counts of drug possession, including methamphetamine, cocaine and Adderall, according to Miami-Dade records.
Three different women say that between October 2022 and February 2023, Bittner allegedly raped two women and attempted to rape a third at his condo at The Waverly South Beach on West Boulevard, according to WSVN.
In one such case, Bittner allegedly tricked a woman from Rome into coming to his Miami Beach condo under the false promise that she could rent out his condo.
