Manhattan D.A. Bragg has announced the 20-year prison sentence of Jamel McIver, 31, who pleaded guilty earlier this year to raping a 21-year-old woman in the stairwell of her Upper West Side building.
“Jamel McIver viciously threatened and raped a woman in the building she called home, causing indescribable fear and pain that she and her loved ones still endure today,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I thank this brave survivor for coming forward and sincerely hope the resolution of this case can offer her a sense of justice. My office will continue to center survivors and we encourage victims of sexual assault to call our trauma-informed Special Victims Division at 212-335-9373.”

Supreme Court is a trial court in New York state.
