Suspected thief arrested for attempted rape of girl, 15, months after Bragg reduced charges
2022-08-27
[NYPOST] A creep set loose without bail after the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office downgraded his robbery charges was arrested again months later for trying to rape a 15-year-old girl in a horrifying attack in The Bronx, sources said Thursday.

Anthony Ibanez, 32, allegedly shoved the girl to the ground at around 2:40 a.m. Wednesday in Parkchester, sexually assaulted her and then chillingly threatened, "I’m going to take you to a quiet place and f—k you," according to the criminal complaint against him.

Sources said a good Samaritan stepped in and stopped the attack, and Ibanez — who was roughed up by the unidentified hero — allegedly later went to the 43rd Precinct claiming to be the victim of an assault.

But cops recognized him from a description given by the teen and arrested him on charges of attempted rape, according to the sources.

At the time of the horrifying attack, Ibanez was out on no bail in a case from three months prior where he allegedly robbed a Hell’s Kitchen deli with a Taser-wielding accomplice.

He was busted May 25 after he and the partner-in-crime allegedly stole a tip jar and other items from the Plaza Gourmet Deli on Ninth Avenue near West 43rd Street, according to the criminal complaint in that case.

Jason Clark, 22, allegedly fired the stun gun when someone tried to stop Ibanez from running out of the store with the items, the court document states.

Cops charged Ibanez with robbery in the first degree with use of a dangerous instrument, an offense that would have been bail eligible under New York state’s criminal justice reforms.

Thank the ACLU and our judiciary. NO, kids are not entitled to full adult rights. The same ACLU who argue out the other side of their mouths that 'children' should face adult punishment for adult crimes.

#4  You can probably get a DNA sample by swabbing the Samaritan’s fist and run it through the database. No warrant required.

#3  I'd personally like to see these easy on violent offender DAs do the same time as the criminals they release should be doing, but I'll settle for a three strikes deal. The third one of their mollycoddled offenders that does this triggers firing, disbarment, loss of pension and permanent loss of access to gummint jobs and right to jury trial if they are ever arrested.

#1  Just how long is it going to take for New Yorkers to get sick and tired of all this?


And, yes, I guess that is a rhetorical question.
