by Luigi Mangione, 26, is facing murder charges in connection with the December 4th shooting death of Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare, in Manhattan. New reports suggest that Mangione, an Ivy League graduate, had recorded several explicit sex videos before his arrest.
An anonymous source informed Radar Online that Mangione filmed at least 20 videos of himself engaging in sexual activity, with production quality indicating he had an intention for them to be viewed. “It wasn’t some amateur, late-night mistake. The lighting and setup were flawless,” the source claimed. “He wanted to be watched and enjoyed it.”
The source also mentioned that Mangione had shared nude photos of himself, and some women involved in the videos are now fearful of coming forward due to potential involvement in the case. “Many of the women are too scared to speak out because they don’t want to be caught up in his situation,” the source explained.
Mangione’s arrest followed a manhunt after Thompson was fatally shot while attending a healthcare conference in the early hours of December 4th.
Since his arrest, more details about Mangione’s personal life have surfaced. He had reportedly posted on social media about his physical attributes. A former roommate, RJ Martin, shared with The New York Times that Mangione had a back condition called spondylolisthesis, worsened by a surfing accident, which made intimate relationships difficult for him. “He knew that being physically intimate wasn’t an option because of his back,” Martin said, expressing sympathy for Mangione’s condition, which causes nerve pain due to misaligned vertebrae.
However, the Radar Online source disputed this account, suggesting that Mangione often filmed his sexual encounters and shared explicit content. “People thought he was this misunderstood genius, but in reality, he was creating his own private adult film empire,” the source said. “He wasn’t just acting recklessly—he was performing, and now, that performance is over.”
At the time of his arrest, Mangione had written a manifesto criticising United Healthcare. The 262-word document condemned the company for its increasing profits while failing to improve life expectancy in the U.S. It also took aim at corporations that “exploit this country for enormous profits, taking advantage of the American public.”
Authorities have linked Mangione to the fatal shooting of Thompson.
Mangione comes from a wealthy background. His grandfather was a successful businessman with investments in a luxury resort, nursing homes, and a radio station. Mangione attended Gilman School, a prestigious private preparatory school in Baltimore, where he graduated as valedictorian in 2016. Tuition at the school is approximately $40,000 per year.
Since his arrest, Mangione has attracted some support, particularly from women. The details of the shooting and the sex video allegations have captured significant media attention.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office is handling the prosecution, with ongoing investigations and preparations for trial. The death of Brian Thompson, a key figure in the healthcare industry, has raised concerns about both public safety and the underlying motivations behind the crime.
