A 24-year-old woman, Beatrice Forc, was arrested in connection with an alleged case of luring and torturing an Italian man in Manhattan. She is reportedly a small-time actress who claims to work as a marketing manager for luxury brands like Rolls-Royce and Bentley, and her family resides in Connecticut.
According to police sources, Forc was working as an assistant to John Waltz, who was arrested at a penthouse in Tono. The victim, hailing from Turin, told authorities that he had been held captive for nearly three weeks and subjected to brutal treatment in an effort to extract a password linked to his cryptocurrency account. Forc faces charges of first-degree luring and first-degree unlawful imprisonment, but the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has chosen to hold off on prosecution pending further investigation, as confirmed by a spokesperson.
In an exclusive interview outside her apartment in Chelsea, Forc insisted, “I’m not arrested.” Her comments came as she was approached on Saturday, despite her involvement in the unfolding situation.
Interestingly, her Facebook profile mentioned that she believed she had not been involved in any severe crime. She reiterated, “It’s all going to be said, but with my lawyer — I can’t comment right now,” while dressed in black and carrying a Stella McCartney tote valued at nearly $1,300.
Forc did not answer additional questions and left with another person, walking away from West 21st Street. She studied Communication and Philosophy at the University of Connecticut from 2017 to 2020 and has held various marketing roles, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Her biography details experience in media production and event management, mentioning prominent clients in the sports and automotive sectors, including Puma and Manchester City. Forc, who stands 5’9″, has also appeared in several films and series since 2020, including a drama titled “Butterfly Wings” released in 2021.
A neighbor in Southbury, Connecticut, reported that Forc’s parents were renting a house while staying in Italy as the situation unfolded. Attempts to reach Puma, Manchester City, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley for comment had not been successful.
