Mark Giannini back in jail for violating $3 million bond

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Former businessman Mark Giannini was arrested by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday.

According to a representative with the department, he was arrested for violating his $3 million bond in relation to the charges of aggravated rape.

Giannini is currently being held without bond.

Authorities said he does not face any new charges at this time.

Giannini was indicted in January 2015 for aggravated rape and two counts of rape.

The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office said the rape charges involved three women.

One of the attacks allegedly happened in 2002, and the others in 2013 and 2014.

Giannini was the founder and former CEO of Service Assurance, a computer and information technology company that he sold to Konica-Minolta.

A 25-year-old woman told police she was drugged and raped at Giannini’s home when she was hired to clean his house in June of 2014.

One of the newer charges included a 23-year-old woman who said she was also raped while working at his home in 2013.

The third case involved three rape charges from 2002 when a 19-year-old woman said she was raped at gunpoint at the Registry Apartments in Cordova.

The woman reportedly came forward after Giannini’s initial arrest.

Giannini was arrested on a Shelby County warrant earlier this year in Pinellas County, Florida, and then returned to Memphis.
