“Anthonia Egegbara will serve a significant state prison term for viciously shoving a woman, who was on her morning commute, into a train as it entered the station,” said District Attorney Bragg. “The assault left the victim with stiffness and pain from her injuries to this day. I hope the resolution in this case can offer the victim a sense of justice.”
“As alleged, Marc Haygood and Jayquan Straker planned a violent murder as they followed Mr. Osorio-Mejia into Manhattan, stealing jewelry off his body after fatally shooting him. Mr. Osorio-Mejia was a well-known sneaker seller, entrepreneur, and father whose life was cut short in this senseless tragedy,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I send my deepest condolences to Mr. Osorio-Mejia’s family and friends as they mourn his loss.”
A woman who shoved a 42-year-old into an oncoming train at a subway station in Times Square was sentenced to 12 years in prison, officials announced Thursday.
“Thanks to this survivor who bravely came forward, Harvey Weinstein now stands indicted for an additional alleged violent sexual assault,” said District Attorney Bragg. “This investigation is ongoing. If you have been sexually assaulted, I assure you that our team of dedicated prosecutors, investigators, social workers, and many more stand at the ready to support you. Please call us at 212-335-9373.”
Harvey Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to one count of a criminal sex act in the first degree after he was indicted by a grand jury earlier this month.
