Mayor: Sex Trafficking Victims, Please Speak Up
A woman who had just picked up coffee from an East Village Dunkin' Donuts was forced into a car by a man posing as a police officer. She managed to escape when police pulled over Richard Padilla's car - he had cut off their car at 119th Street and 2nd Avenue - yelling that he had raped her. Padilla had told the woman he had a gun and kept her captive in his car from 6AM - 8:30AM Monday morning as he drove to a number of spots to sexually assault her. While he was charged with kidnapping, committing a criminal sexual act, sexual abuse and criminal possession of marijuana, Padilla was also wearing a sweater that the letters "NYSP" - New York State Police. The lawyer for Padilla, who was convicted to sexual assault in 1987, said, "He hasn't been arrested for 19 years. He's entitled to some bail." - alas, he was not.
The East Village Dunkin' Donuts where Padilla grabbed the victim is at 2nd Avenue between 11th and 12th Streets - half a block from where the 2nd Avenue Deli used to be. One East Village resident told the Daily News, "I go to the gym after midnight. It felt really safe, but I guess you never know."

What kind of argument is he hasn't been to jail in 19 years he deserves bail. That just makes me sick.
hang em high
Wait, which crappy paper got it wrong? In the Post she was carjacked in an Audi, in the News it was a grey Lexus.
And when they say sodomize, which end do they mean (not joking, it's just too vague)?
Holy $#%! I just read the article. This happened right outside my apartment (I live at 11th and 2nd). Why can't people treat women with respect? This guy should be executed along with that Staten Island guy that shot that nice girl in the Lower East Side.
