“All of the videos depict women, all who are believed to be over the age of 18, in various sexual encounters being recorded and/or touched by Keene without their consent. … One of the most egregious videos, recorded in June of 2020, shows an unconscious female in a vehicle being sexually assaulted by Keene while unable to respond, move, or speak and clearly unable to consent to the acts being done to her,” police said.

The woman in the latter video has been identified and is helping police with their investigation. There are several other women who have not yet been identified, however, police said.
