New York City is taking care of all the real crime, like presidential candidates "falsifying business records," but as for all the real criminals, well …
No worries, New York, Donald Trump has 34 felony counts against him, so everything is fine!
The Big Apple has seen an alarming 11% jump in rapes this year — with some sections of the city seeing their numbers more than double.
There were 880 rapes reported citywide from Jan. 1 through July 14, compared to 796 in the same period last year, NYPD stats reveal …
Areas with the sharpest increases include:
Manhattan's 10th Precinct - covering Chelsea, Hell's Kitchen South and Hudson Yards — saw a 300% increase, with eight so far this year compared to two at this point in 2023.
Rapes more than doubled Times Square's Midtown South Precinct, to 19 from nine — a 111% climb.
The 101st Precinct in the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens saw rapes shoot up 100% to 14 from 7.
The 105th Precinct in eastern Queens saw rapes increase 70% to 17 so far this year from 10 last year.
Who knew housing hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants would end up causing these types of problems in the nation's largest easy-on-crime city.
Experts suggested several factors could be behind the increase, including the NYPD's dwindling manpower, the surge in the migrant population, and failing bail-reform policies.
‘It's no secret that the NYPD is down significantly in terms of force size. Because it's down, whenever it decides to prioritize something - say for example subway offenses - that's going to make the topside slightly more vulnerable, as far as more cops are now below ground,' said Rafael Mangual, a criminal justice policy expert and senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
Mangual said the risk of crimes like rape also has also increased because of controversial policies including discovery reform, which requires prosecutors to hand over their evidence to defenders earlier in the legal process; New York's Raise the Age law, which in 2018 bumped up the age of criminal responsibility to 18 from 16, as well as soft-on-crime prosecutors, including Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg.
‘The rate of cases being dismissed has gone up [and] the rate of cases not being pursued has gone up because of the progressive prosecutorial methods of Bragg, [Brooklyn DA] Eric Gonzalez and [Bronx DA] Darcel Clark,' he said.
