“Today, Rasheen Davis was held accountable for a horrific attack on a New Yorker,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I hope that this sentence delivers some measure of closure for the survivor. Nobody should have to experience this type of injury and trauma, and we will continue to prioritize uplifting survivors and ensuring they have the support and resources they need to recover.”
“Otoniel McKenzie committed utterly horrific crimes when he raped, filmed, and then stalked a young New Yorker for more than a week,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I thank the survivor for her bravery in taking the stand, and the members of the jury for carefully considering the evidence before them. I am grateful to our partners in the NYPD for their work identifying and arresting McKenzie, and finally, for our prosecutors who fought for accountability. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, I assure you, we are here to help: call 212-335-9373.”
“A jury of Davis Lange’s peers found him guilty of raping a young woman who had considered him a friend during a visit to his apartment,” said District Attorney Bragg. “The survivor knew and trusted Lange, and he callously violated that trust. We thank her for bravely coming forward with her story, which is what ultimately led to this conviction.”
“The horrific conduct charged in the indictment is beyond disturbing,” said District Attorney Alvin Bragg. “New Yorkers should not have to fear for their safety when they walk into their apartment buildings. Our Special Victims Division is here to offer support to survivors and our highly trained prosecutors treat these types of cases with the utmost care. If you have experienced sexual violence, please call us at 212-335-9373 and we will investigate with the respect that all survivors deserve.”
“In less than an hour of deliberations, a jury of Darryl Phelps’ peers found him guilty of brutally raping a young woman who was simply trying to walk home from work,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Notably, while this survivor did not return to the United States to testify, our prosecutors were able to secure this conviction using body-worn camera footage, eyewitness testimony, and other evidence.”
