MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The former CEO of a Memphis IT company has new rape charges filed against him.
The Shelby County District Attorney’s office said the rape charges involve three women.
One of the attacks allegedly happened in 2002, the others in 2013 and 2014.
Earlier this month, Mark Giannini was indicted for aggravated rape and two counts of rape.
Gianinni is the founder and former CEO of Service Assurance, a computer and information technology company which 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 home in June of 2014.
One of the new charges includes a 23-year-old woman who said she was also raped while working at his home in 2013.
The third case involves three rape charges from 2002 when a 19-year-old woman said she was raped 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 month in Pinellas County, Fla., and was returned to Memphis Tuesday night.
When deputies searched Giannini’s home in 2014, they found more than $16,000 in cash, a variety of prescription drugs with no labels on the bottles and 24 guns.
Deputies said Gianinni escaped from the house, but later came out of the woods, sweaty and scratched up, carrying Viagra, an expired Desoto County Sheriff’s ID and badge, a passport, and about $1,600 in cash.
They arrested him for selling controlled substances, which is a felony, and that led to more charges because he had guns in his house.
