Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., today announced the indictment of EDWIN PAGE, 28, for allegedly stalking and sexually abusing multiple women he did not know, including four in less than an hour. PAGE is charged in a New York State Supreme Court indictment with one count of Stalking in the First Degree; one count of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree; one count of Sexual Abuse in the Third Degree; one count of Attempted Assault in the Second Degree and three counts of Forcible Touching.

“This is an incredibly disturbing series of alleged incidents that targeted multiple victims,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I thank the NYPD for quickly apprehending this defendant, and urge anyone who has been the victim of a sexual abuse should call our Special Victims Division at 212-335-9373.” 

According to court documents and statements made on the record, on April 25, 2025, at approximately 8:11 a.m., PAGE approached a legally blind woman on West 23rd Street between 6th and 7th Avenues, indicated he was a detective and then grabbed her buttocks before running off. 

On April 28, 2025, at approximately 12:11 p.m. on West 32nd Street between 6th and 7th Avenues, PAGE approached another stranger and made comments about her being his girlfriend, before placing his genitals against her leg. 

About 15 minutes later, at 12:27 p.m. near West 26th Street and Sixth Avenue, PAGE walked into a nail salon and again made comments about a different woman being his girlfriend. The victim tried to get up and walk away, but PAGE grabbed her buttocks. 

At approximately 12:56 p.m. near West 32nd Street and 6th Avenue, PAGE approached another victim in a store and lit her hair on fire. The victim was able to put out the fire before sustaining any injuries. 

Approximately one minute later, PAGE approached a fifth woman on 6th Avenue, who was walking with her children and husband, and grabbed her buttocks. 

PAGE was arrested near the nail salon shortly after. 

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant D.A. Hannah Dionne, Assistant D.A. Anna Nagler, and Assistant D.A. Phoebe Rosenfeld, under the supervision of Assistant D.A.s Bethany Spiro (Deputy Chief of the Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Bureau), Vanessa Puzio (Deputy Chief of the Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Bureau), Kaitlyn Flatley (Deputy Chief of the Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Bureau), and Executive Assistant D.A. Justin McNabney (Chief of the Special Victims Division).  Investigative Analyst Sophie Gad is providing invaluable assistance in this case. 

D.A. Bragg thanked the Manhattan Special Victims Squad, especially Detective Lauren Liebhauser and Detective Alfred Ortiz.
