New Yorker kept his girlfriend in a trailer, beat her and raped her

The woman's life has become hell. Her jealous Staten Island boyfriend took his girlfriend captive and shackled in his trailer. There, he repeatedly raped her until she ran away this week and went to the police, reports New York Daily News.

On March 26, NYPD officers arrived at the mobile home of the distraught boyfriend, 30-year-old Alexander Isaac. He lives in a littered lot on Central Avenue. The police found the bomb and unknown chemicals.

The 25-year-old victim, who neighbors say was his regular girlfriend, complained about Isaac for months. She often sought refuge in a hotel next door to where the bus that had been turned into a house was parked.

Isaac was arrested on March 27 and charged with rape, criminal sexual acts, false imprisonment and kidnapping. A protective order was issued and bail was set at $200 in cash or $000 in total.

Court documents paint a horrifying picture

On Monday, March 27, around 11 a.m., Isaac tied the victim's legs, handcuffed her behind her back, gagged her with a T-shirt, and then raped her. He hit the woman in the face, causing her eye to bleed, and then pinned her against the wall and lashed her hips with a belt.

After being bullied, Isaac exited the bus and closed the door behind him, locking the victim inside for approximately nine hours.

Around 21:50 the woman managed to get out of the bus. She was about four blocks from the police station when Isaac caught up with her.

“You made it worse for yourself,” the rapist said of her escape attempt. According to the Staten Island District Attorney, he dragged her back onto the bus, where he handcuffed her to a bed.

The woman somehow got free again and this time made it to the station.

After listening to her story, police with a search warrant came to the bus where the couple lived in Brighton Heights.

There was another man there, as well as Isaac's two children, aged 5 and 7, who were on the bus. The second man was charged with endangering the welfare of the children (they were taken away for examination).

Police found multiple chemicals and a live bomb

Investigators found a 3D printer and evidence of an attempt to make a ghost pistol - a frame for a Glock pistol made using a printer. Representatives of the city's Department of Environmental Protection were called to the scene to remove chemicals that can be bought over the counter.

According to Isaac's lawyer Michael Cirigliano, the Grand Jury is reviewing the evidence against his client. “He categorically denies the allegations,” he said.

The lawyer said that Isaac runs a company that rents buses. And the neighbors speak of him as a guy who can fix anything.

"He's a mechanic," confirmed a worker at the nearby Richmond Hotel, who declined to give his last name. “He fixes everything and can fix anything, a very skilled man.”

A worker described Isaac as a friendly guy when he moved in with him two years ago after parking a van on the property. The man lived there with his two children.

“In the beginning he was a normal guy. Laughed, joked, - the worker continued his story. “But then he changed, and we saw what he did to his girlfriend. Now we know who he is. We know he hits women."

A hotel worker recalled an incident that occurred at the end of last year:

“Once we were working, and his girlfriend came to us in a rage. She said that he beat her, starved her. The girl said something like that she takes care of his children instead of him, and he goes to court to litigate with his wife.

The manager of the Richmond Hotel confirmed that the victim came to him several times seeking shelter. He let her stay for a couple of nights, but she always came back to Isaac.

“They had their own problems. I am not surprised. With all the police action, we thought one of them killed the other,” he said.

On Wednesday, police sealed off the block, and FBI agents were seen surveying the area along with NYPD detectives.

“Last night they blocked the entire roadway from Hyatt Street to Slosson Terrace. They didn't even let the hotel guests out. They told everyone to stay where they were,” said the manager.

A hotel worker said that the discovery of the bomb surprised him:

“I don't know what happened to him, what's wrong with his head. I don't think he looks like a terrorist. Cruel? Yes. But he doesn't look like a man who has a bomb."
