He was twice released without bail: in New York, the rapist left the victim in a vegetative state

Earlier this year, this criminal was released twice. Now he has attacked a woman, leaving her in a vegetative state. New York Post.

In 2020, a resident of Brooklyn, accused of brutal rape, was twice released from liability for his attacks.

Now he has committed another crime. This time the victim was a woman whom he raped so cruelly that she is still in a vegetative state.

38-year-old Frankie Harris (Frankie Harris) with the help of a choking grab deprived a 64-year-old woman consciousness for three minutes, dragged her to the ground and raped. This happened on May 18 in Harlem.

However, his criminal activity began about three months before. So, on February 6, the cops arrested Harris in Harlem for hitting a woman in the buttocks.

Two days later, he was charged with forced violence and sexual assault, and Judge Gerald Lebovits set a $ 10 bail for him.

But on February 11, at the request of the defense, another hearing was held before Judge Althea Drysdale on the issue of bail. She ordered Harris to be released from prison under supervision, as evidenced by court records.

Less than two weeks later, police caught Harris in Brooklyn after he attacked several strangers on L train platforms at Jefferson Street and Morgan Avenue stations.

It is reported that Harris threatened to kill, and also hit and spat on a woman - a mother of two children aged five and three, who at that time watched in horror.

He then hit the man in the face and spat on the second man, as alleged in the complaint.

Two days later, he was charged with 16 crimes, including: hate attack, aggravated persecution, threatening a child’s well-being, intimidation and resistance to arrest.

Judge Hilary Gingold released him without bail and ordered him to participate in another supervised release program. A spokeswoman for Brooklyn’s prosecutor’s office said none of the charges involved securing bail in line with new bail reform laws.

Harris did not show up for his next performances in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and both vessels issued warrants for his arrest. However, they did not have time to detain him: on the weekend he was detained for the brutal rape on May 18 and an attempted murder on E. 111th Street near Second Avenue. What happened there was filmed by surveillance cameras, authorities said.

On May 26, prosecutors said at the time of the indictment that the victim was not expected to live for several days.

Harris is charged with attempted murder, rape and strangulation. “Judge Gingold was clearly following the law,” said Office of Court Administration spokesman Lucian Chalfen. "Judge Drysdale has decided on bail at her discretion."
