One of the most well-known real estate investors in Sacramento is facing allegations from two women of assault and sexual battery. Two separate lawsuits were filed within the past month against Ethan Conrad. Conrad has filed a cross-complaint in one of them, denying the allegations and claiming the first woman is trying to extort money from him. Conrad is known in Northern California for his major real estate investments. Back in October, his company Ethan Conrad Properties bought a high-rise building in Sacramento for $21 million. The company has dozens of properties across the Sacramento area. In the first lawsuit filed on Nov. 20, a woman identified as Jane Roe says she met Conrad on Facebook back in 2022 and was invited to his home. She said once she arrived, she took two shots of what she thought to be tequila. But she said after that she became "unconscious." She said Conrad laced her drinks with some sort of drug and then raped her. In the second lawsuit filed on Dec. 4, a woman identified as Jane Roe #2 said she was in a relationship with Conrad in 2022. She said when she started questioning Conrad about the first woman's allegations, he became "erratic, unusual and abusive." She said Conrad physically attacked her by striking her in the stomach. She said she went into the bathroom at his house and took a picture showing a red mark on her stomach, which is included in the lawsuit. On Wednesday, Conrad filed an answer and cross-complaint in the first lawsuit, saying he "denies every allegation in the complaint." In the cross-complaint, Conrad said his sexual encounter with the first woman was consensual but that she lied about it afterward to extort money from him. Conrad said Jane Roe #1 demanded $1,000 from him for medical treatment and antibiotics related to their sexual encounter. But he said she never offered "verification" of a doctor's visit. The cross-complaint goes on to say Jane Roe #1 posted false and defamatory statements about Conrad online and attempted to blackmail him. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office investigated the 2022 allegations and said Conrad "is not suspected of any crimes at all." KCRA 3 Investigates also reached out to Conrad and his attorneys, but they declined our interview request. Conrad hasn't filed a response to the second complaint.
