The “$70,000 CEO” Dan Price’s abrupt resignation from the helm of Gravity Payments this week came as he faced a new allegation of purportedly raping a woman, according to a bombshell report.
Price, who made international headlines after he slashed his own pay to $70,000 while raising minimum wage at the company, resigned as CEO this week amid reports that he had grabbed a 26-year-old woman by the throat after she rejected his advances.
But Price’s resignation came shortly after he was contacted for a response to a rape allegation, according to a report late Thursday.
Police in Palm Springs, California, have recommended that Price face a charge of rape of a drugged victim. The executive has not yet been charged in connection to the alleged incident.
Kacie Margis, a model and artist, told the New York Times she and Price were dating for about three months when the alleged rape occurred during a trip to Palm Springs. Price allegedly booted Margis out of their hotel room for hours so that he could take a phone call, despite the fact that she was only wearing a bikini and a cover-up.

Dude was accused of rape, drugging women, and God only knows what else.
This is a self-proclaimed male feminist who was getting praised for upping everyone's salary in the company to 70k per year while lowering his to 70k. What people don't realize is that he was getting even MORE money doing this because profits are taxed way less than salary so him going from 900k a year down to 70k a year was a selfish act in and of itself.
I am not surprised he was out there using his CEO position to prey on women. He just looks like the type to do it.
