Police said the investigation started earlier this month after an acquaintance of Keene said they found several cellphones of his with “several saved videos depicting what appeared to be explicit ******* ******.”

“All of the videos depict women, all who are believed to be over the age of 18, in various ******* 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 ********* assaulted by Keene while unable to respond, move, or speak and clearly unable to consent to the acts being done to her,” police said.
