A man found guilty of throwing his girlfriend into an oncoming train at the Fulton Street station in March 2024 has been sentenced to 18 years in state prison, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Jr., announced Tuesday.
A 36-year-old man was sentenced to 18 years in prison on Tuesday after pleading guilty to shoving his 29-year-old girlfriend in front of an oncoming train at a Lower Manhattan subway station last year, authorities said.
“Christian Valdez will serve nearly two decades in prison following his conviction for committing a life-threatening act of domestic violence in our transit system,” said District Attorney Bragg. “As a result of this extremely serious attack, the victim has permanent physical injuries, and experiences emotional trauma. I hope the resolution of this case offers her some sense of justice.”
“A young woman was walking into her SoHo apartment building when Ellow Williams followed her inside, strangled her until she appeared to lose consciousness, and raped her. He will now serve a lengthy prison sentence for this brutal and terrifying attack,” said District Attorney Bragg. “My office’s Special Victims Division has the resources to support survivors of sexual assault and ensure accountability for those who commit these crimes – please call us at 212-335-9373.”
