Crossdresser Steals from Restaurant

New York Criminal Lawyers are investigating a case in which a cross-dressing male prostitute stole $4,500 from a West Village eatery. The establishment is known for hosting a number of celebrities, according to police.
The 18-year-old prostitute, dressed in skirt and blouse, strolled into a Bank Street eatery, near Greenwich Street at 9:40 p.m. on June 2 and asked to use the restroom, sources told a New York Criminal Lawyer. The suspect then went to the manager’s office instead. The 18-year-old man, who has a long rap sheet which includes a number of arrests for prostitution, took an envelope full of cash from the manager’s office and fled the scene, sources said.
The co-owner and manager of the establishment did not learn that the money was missing until the end of the night, said a New York Criminal Lawyer. There was surveillance video available that displayed what had occurred and the footage was turned over to the police, who subsequently arrested the suspect. With the arrest of the suspect, the case is considered closed and no further action is deemed to be necessary. It is unknown whether the suspect has other similar charges to face.

Date Rape is a very common crime

Rape is defined as the sexual intercourse with another, without the victim’s consent. Date rape is a variation of this, where the defendant and the victim know each other. In rape cases, Date Rape is more common that you might think, it is reported that 70-80% of rape victims knew their offender. The accusation of rape is a serious matter, even if it is not true. It can damage the defendant’s reputation for years to come. A criminal conviction of rape can result in prison, fines, rehabilitation and possibly registering as a sex offender with the State of New York.

Date Rape is defined by the Rape statutes of the New York Penal Law, under sections 130.25, 130.30 and 130.35, depending on the degree committed. 1st degree Rape is defined as intercourse with another person, either by forcible compulsion, or if the victim cannot give consent (due to being physically helpless), or with a person that is under the age of 11 yrs. This crime is categorized as a Class B felony. 2nd degree Rape occurs when an individual over the age of 18 yrs. has sexual intercourse with someone 15yrs. old or younger, or has sex with an individual incapable of giving consent because of mental incapacity. This is a Class D felony. 3d degree Rape occurs when individual has sex with an individual that cannot give consent for another reason than being 17 years old or younger, or being over 21yrs. and having sex with someone younger than 17 yrs. or having sex without consent because the lack of consent is due to another factor other than incapacity. This is categorized as a Class E felony.

The crime of Date Rape can be complex given the pre-existing relationship of the parties. Consent can become a grey area in these types of cases, particularly if there was a pre-existing relationship between the parties. Often poor communication, misunderstood signals and even diminished capacity due to drugs or alcohol may be a factor. In fact Date Rape has received more media attention in the recent past due to the use of what has been called Date Rape drugs, Rohyponol and GHB. It is reported that nearly 1/3 of Date Rape cases involve drugs and/or alcohol. The District Attorney will try to convince the court that all the elements of Rape are present, beyond a reasonable doubt. It will be the job of your Bronx Criminal Lawyer to prove otherwise, and create reasonable doubt in the eyes of the court.

Conspiracy drug deal set up by cop, reports a Bronx Criminal Lawyer

An auxiliary cop and a retired NYPD veteran have been charged with conspiracy after delivering a duffel bag of alleged cocaine packets to the Bronx. The two face a minimum sentence of ten years in prison should they be convicted. The auxiliary arranged a meeting between the veteran cop and someone he thought to be a drug dealer. The supposed drug dealer turned out to be an informant. The alleged plan was for the ex-officer to move the load from a warehouse in Long Island to a buyer located in the Bronx, FBI officials told Bronx Criminal Lawyers. It was a $12,000 transaction which the two carried out. Amid the sting operation, the NYPD vet bragged that showing his ID and shield always keeps him out of trouble with cops. He was also armed with a 9-mm handgun, and told one informant that he would be ready to shoot if necessary, according to a Bronx Criminal Lawyer. The auxiliary officer set up the exchange after boasting that he could transport ten kilograms of coke by recruiting members of the NYPD, while the veteran officer was the muscle to carry out the plan. The retiree had been with the NYPD for twenty years (1986-2006), and the auxiliary was from the 30th precinct in the Bronx and had been there since 2006, reports New York Criminal Lawyers. It is unclear if these officers will face any additional charges, or if there are any previous incidents in which they have been involved.

Charges Pending Against a Man in Subway Killings Reports a Bronx Criminal Lawyer

Charges against the man are pending but two other men are already in custody but charges have to be solidified. The arrest of the first man came four short days after the two victims were stabbed report a Bronx Criminal Lawyer.

Detectives at the Sixth Precinct station house are holding the suspects in this brutal stabbing, but authorities are not giving details of how the men were found. One group of men already on the train was headed toward Brooklyn about 5AM when another group of men boarded the train says a BrBronx Criminal Lawyer. The two groups exchanges words and then one man apparently hit another accidentally when tossing some trash toward a set of closing train doors. The fight began over something as simple as missing a trash can and two men, both 24-years-old were fatally stabbed report New York Criminal Lawyers.

The attacker and several of his friends exited the train at the Christopher Street station but the investigation has been difficult. The station is not equipped with surveillance cameras, which renders a big problem with security surrounding the subway system.

Man Warns Woman of Impending Death Via Text Message Says a Bronx Criminal Lawyer

Text messaging has quickly become one of the largest forms of communication in recent years. And, one Brooklyn man, enraged over his girlfriend’s actions sent her a text message telling her that he was going to kill her. It seems she left a party that the two were attending and didn’t bother telling him. And, so he sent her message threatening her life. A Bronx Criminal Lawyer may be called in to help iron out the details of the situation.

The victim is a 25-year-old mother of two. She was found beaten and strangled not long after her married lover followed her home. The babysitter, the mother of the victim, said he knocked on the door and she opened it. She noted that at the time, nothing seemed wrong so she allowed the man to come inside just before 2:00 AM. Once she started hearing noises, she begged a neighbor to call 911.

The victim’s mother said she went into the room after the man calmly walked away from the apartment with blood on his mouth after biting the woman. A Bronx Criminal Lawyer says the suspect is married to a woman who lives two floors above the victim and her family and was snorting cocaine and discussing the murder with relatives afterwards. One of his cousins’s asked him why he would do such a thing and his answer was a pathetic “she should have never left” (the party).

The victim’s mother said the suspect had stuffed the victim under her own bed. Half of her body was sticking out and her mother was obviously upset. Once the police arrived, the suspect was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. He didn’t even try to flee once the authorities arrived. Investigators were looking for the victims phone, as it seems he had sent the text message threatening her shortly before showing up at her home. A New York Criminal Lawyer suspects like this who have prior arrests for assault, menacing and harassment and many times the crimes just continue to increase in intensity just as this one did.

Hate Killing of Immigrant May Render a Plea Bargain Reports a Bronx Criminal Lawyer

An Ecuador-ean immigrant in Patchogue died at the hands of two suspects. One of the suspects is only eighteen and may take a plea while the other suspect is nineteen was due in court next week. The District Attorney said that both cases were moved up but would not comment further. A Bronx Criminal Lawyer may have more information on the case soon.

These two teens, and five others, are charged with first-degree gang assault and fourth degree conspiracy in relation to the killing of the man. The teens also face charges for other crimes in which they are suspects.

The attorney of the eighteen year old said he might plead guilty depending on the outcome of a meeting with the judge in his chambers. The lawyer for the nineteen-year-old said that his client has no intention of taking a plea. A Bronx Criminal Lawyer reports that the district attorney’s position hasn’t changed in this case.

Apparently the lawyer for the nineteen-year-old was awaiting the decision from the judge on various motions including whether a statement made to police is admissible and another motion to suppress evidence and dismiss some of the charges. The judge has yet to rule on motions made by the defense and jury selection should occur soon.

A New York Criminal Lawyer says that another teen is the only one charged with second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter and that both are dubbed hate crimes. Authorities indicate that this teen fatally stabbed the immigrant. All of the teens gave statements to police just hours after the killing and admitted being involved in the crime. The judge has already ruled that two of the statements can be used in the trial. For now, no deals are on the table and the defendants hope to get one trial.

The matter hasn’t been resolved though as the new suspect checked into a psychiatric center after the accident. The story seemed a bit extraordinary and the suspect was held briefly on an outstanding warrant for driving with a suspended drivers license.

Police believe that the driver of the vehicle may have been cut when the windshield on the driver’s side of the auto was pushed back from the impact. And, surveillance video at a taxi stand was clear enough to identify a woman who came into the taxi stand and said she had been in an accident. From the video, detectives say that she doesn’t appear to be injured though. The suspect stayed in her lawyer’s office most of the day and refused to comment when she did finally leave.

The victim is a coordinator at Mayor Bloomberg’s volunteer office and suffered head trauma and was in a coma. She also has a broken collarbone. Witnesses say that the victim pushed another woman out of the way and took the full impact.
