A 34-year-old genetic researcher with ties to Yale University will appear Monday in a Dryden courtroom, charged with the first-degree rape of a Town of Ithaca woman. Navneet K. Tyagi of New Haven, Conn. is charged with forcible sex.
According to the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office, Tyagi drove from Connecticut to the victim’s home, where he allegedly “held her captive for several hours, forcing her to engage in sexual intercourse.” He was arraigned before Judge Clauson in the Town of Dryden Court and sent to Tompkins County Jail in lieu of $500,000 cash bail.
Cornell Public Safety and the New Haven Police Department assisted Tompkins County Deputies in their investigation. Cornell University directed our inquiries to the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office, which was unavailable for comment.
According to the Yale website, Navneet is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Genetics at the school and a scientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institution. Yale spokesman Thomas Conroy told us the school is aware of the arrest, but would have no other comment. HHMI did not immediately respond to our requests for comment.

Maybe he thought he was working for the UN.
As I said to another poster- occasionally I get careless and think in my mindset, rather than as the scuzballs think.
I might actually know him and if that’s the case then he’s from INDIA. I wonder where he is now? Does anyone know?
