“Benvontay Fogler used his positions at schools and camps to abuse numerous children over the course of more than four years,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I thank the many survivors who came forward, as well as our prosecutors and counselors who never stopped working to support them. Our Special Victims Division is here to help; please call us at 212-335-3400.” 

“As alleged, Jermaine Longmire attempted to rape a woman in Central Park while she was sunbathing last month. Our parks should be a place where New Yorkers can relax without fearing for their safety, and this alleged conduct will not be tolerated,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Our Special Victims Division has the resources to both hold offenders accountable and support survivors as they heal; please call us at 212-335-9373.”

“Carl Phanor has been held accountable for a pattern of vile sexual assaults,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Phanor’s violent attacks did much more than cause physical harm, as many of the survivors continue to suffer deep emotional and psychological scars, and I stand with them as they continue to heal and address their trauma. My Office will continue to put the well-being of our survivors front and center, both through holding people accountable in court and connecting survivors with the appropriate resources through our Survivor Services Bureau.”
