Woman claims boss raped her after giving her a drink at Times Square hotel

A woman told cops her boss raped in his Times Square hotel room — after he gave her orange juice that made her pass out, police said Wednesday.

The 36-year-old said she went to the room with her boss, Masakatsu Yukitoshi, 45, around 9:30 p.m. Saturday at ROW-NYC Hotel on Eighth Avenue and that he offered her the juice, according to police.

The next thing she remembered was waking up partially clothed in bed with him, she told cops.

“She went to a known subject’s hotel room and had some orange juice he gave her,” a police source said. “Her next memory was waking up with him lying next to her.”

The woman went to Englewood Hospital and Medical Center in New Jersey, where a rape kit and toxicology texts were performed, police sources said.

Yukitoshi, who lives in Fushimi-ku Kyoto, Japan, was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with rape, sex abuse and facilitating a sex offense, cops said.
