“Public safety means not having to fear a simple walk to the subway,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I thank the NYPD for its quick work tracking down this suspect and making an arrest on these deeply disturbing allegations. I want to ensure survivors that we have the resources to help you in a trauma-informed manner that puts your needs first. Please call us at 212-335-9373.”

“Gregory Smith lured two teenagers into his company, raped them, and then attempted to bribe them for their silence,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I thank these young survivors for bravely reporting this despicable behavior, which aided our prosecutors in their fight for accountability.”

 “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.”
