“It is illegal for a therapist to engage in any sexual contact with a patient. Therapists are tasked with helping navigate difficult emotions and experiences, which can leave a patient – particularly a child – extremely vulnerable,” said District Attorney Bragg. “As alleged, Remington Yhap exploited the trust placed in him as a therapist to groom and ultimately rape a teenager. This investigation is ongoing. If you have been subjected to abuse, please call our Special Victims Division at 212-335-9373.”

“Today’s sentence holds Donovan Murphy accountable for this horrific attack on a nurse while she was sleeping in her own apartment,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Although this case has reached its conclusion, the survivor’s recovery continues, and I hope she is able to heal from the lasting physical and emotional impact of this crime. We will continue to support survivors of rape and sexual violence and vigorously prosecute these matters. “

“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.”

While we are disappointed that the proceedings ended with a mistrial, we deeply respect the jury system and sincerely thank all of the jurors for their time and dedication.

“Jermaine Longmire is facing significant time in state prison for attempting to rape a woman who was trying to enjoy her day off in Central Park. New Yorkers and visitors alike deserve to feel safe in Manhattan’s parks,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I want to thank the survivor for bravely testifying in this trial. I hope this sentencing can offer a sense of closure as she continues to heal from this traumatic assault.”
