D.A. Bragg: Agustin Diaz Sentenced To 15 Years In Prison For Series Of Sexual Assaults Click For More

“Agustin Diaz engaged in a predatory cycle of targeting Spanish-speaking women who needed jobs, and then sexually assaulting them,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Again and again, he repeated this pattern, zeroing in on survivors who were new to the United States and thought he could provide them with gainful employment. I thank the survivors for their bravery, including speaking at today’s sentencing, and urge anyone else who has been sexually assaulted to contact our office at 212-335-9793.”

I want to thank our prosecutors, the NYPD and the FDNY, for all working closely together to quickly arrest and charge the defendant and stop this conduct.”
