How Many Women Has Microsoft's Alex Balabhadra Graveley Already Strangled and Where Does That End?

How many got strangled? At least 4 we know of already? Is that some kind of kink or sick fetish? His friend Miguel de Icaza was aware of this for many years but said nothing in public.
Today I sued a dangerous, violent person from Microsoft in another continent. He does not deny that he was arrested and charged for what he did. The question is, how many other women did he do the same to?
When he was arrested I wrote that "I shall be writing more about Twitter in days to come" (I still had an account there at the time) and people spoke back. In Twitter there's evidence of at least four women who said he had strangled them too, or who reported this to the police. As we shall explain later today, people in the US can walk away free if they're rich, well-connected, or something "in-between".
Twitter is also not the right forum for this kind of thing; people with money know they can just mass-report some tweet (until it's deleted by Twitter) or threaten Twitter with a lawsuit. Then Twitter might take down tweets (that was well before MElon's takeover). It happened many times before and Daniel Nazer from the EFF showed evidence of that. Back then I explained that tweets are short and lack context, hence it's important to file information with the police, as my wife and I did many times [1, 2].
Regarding Graveley, there is a bunch of women he has victimised. "I have talked to several," said one of them. They're in contact with each other, but forcing action is a bit harder. Raising awareness is key. There is actual evidence, not mere "gossip".
Some of the victims are afraid to speak out. "They don't want to speak out," one victim said. "Even after this" (arrest for strangulation).
"I think it would help my credibility if you mention that I'm hesitant to work with you," one of them said. "But I felt this was important enough after being ignored by the media for so long..."
As we explained back in 2021, a lot of the media refused to cover this, even after the arrest. It was contacted and offered evidence. It still turned a cold shoulder. What does that say about the media? Does it condone strangulation or worse? Is it afraid of retaliation from Microsoft, which is typically a key advertiser, hence revenue source?
