A serial rapist appeared before a judge in the Bronx on Thursday to be charged with raping a woman in the elevator of her apartment building, just six weeks after he was paroled after 16 years in prison.
39-year-old Ramon Ratestan turned into a police officer on Thursday and was filmed on video as he was walking.
He later appeared before a judge and, according to the protocol, told his victim: “This is a robbery. Don’t be silly.
Rathestan has been charged under 12 counts, including rape, robbery, sexual assault, violent touching and theft.
Police said the suspect followed the woman into the elevator of her apartment building in the Bronx, located on Bolton Street and Lidig Avenue on Pelham Parkway

Rathestan was free for only six weeks when he attacked again, raping a woman in the elevator of her building with a knife before taking away $ 112 from her
Ramon Rotestan, a Level 3 criminal, followed the woman to her apartment in the Bronx before robbing and raping her with a knife. Rathestan was released on parole six weeks after serving 16 years in prison before a sex crime Monday night
The suspect entered the elevator after harassing and tracking down his victim
Video surveillance taken inside the elevator shows the suspect, who holds a knife, talking to the victim before robbing and raping her.
At some point, when the elevator stops on the second floor, the suspect looks straight into the camera before inspecting the area to make sure they are alone before taking out a condom and committing a violent sexual act.
Before fleeing the scene, the suspect robbed a woman, who seemed to have handed over her wallet, of $ 112.
Crime on the streets of New York reached a record high: robberies rose by 44.5 percent, criminal attacks – by 19 percent, rape – by 12 percent, and general crime – a staggering 41.26 percent, forcing many New Yorkers feel restless.
After an unprovoked attack, the victim was taken to Jacobi Medical Center for treatment, according to The New York Post.
This is another shocking case of crimes in the Big Apple, where rape, assault and robbery have increased.
That evening, when the horrific rape took place, the mayor of New York, who loves parties, Eric Adams, met with celebrities at a stellar fundraiser, which was attended by such as Jeff Bezas.
Comedian John Mulani, host of an evening at the Robin Hood Foundation’s annual charity gala at the Javit Center in downtown Manhattan, tore 61-year-old Adams apart.
The owner of the “Grammy” comic aimed at the mayor’s reputation as a partygoer, joking that he traveled so much that he did not live in New York.
“I love Mayor Adams. He has done so much good for the city that he plans to move here, ”Muleini said ironically.
Last week, the mayor left his crime-ridden city to play with billionaires and comedians on the West Coast.
The policeman, who became a politician, flew to Los Angeles for a three-day walk in Los Angeles to provoke positive press and business for the Big Apple.

A recent crime chart in New York shows a staggering surge in crime by May 8, 2022
During his trip, which included Dave Chapel’s show at the Hollywood Bowl, he was seen having dinner at the super-cool San Vincente Bungalows for Members only, hosted by chief Hollywood agent Cade Hudson, according to Page Six.
A source told page six that the evening was “greet the mayor of Los Angeles”
The San Vincente Bungalows, founded by Jeff Klein in 2019, has 750 members, whom the New York Times has called “the tops of predators” such as Steven Spielberg and Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandas.
Annual contributions of $ 4,200 for members over the age of 35; $ 1,800 for juniors.
Screenwriter John Robin Bates told the Times that the decor was “a mixture of a glorious English cottage, a Bugsy Siegel hideout and a Bemelman bar.”
The club is so private that the camera lenses of all mobile phones are covered with a sticker when members enter, and taking pictures is prohibited.
Mayor Adams became known for his taste in nightlife. Here he was seen as he came to the Manhattan club Zero Bond, intended only for members
Meanwhile, crime continues to rise across New York – despite Adams’ promises to crack down on already growing numbers under his predecessor, Bill de Blasio.
By May 1, total crime in New York had grown by 41 percent compared to the same period in 2021.
While the number of homicides fell by 14 per cent, robberies increased by 44 per cent and attacks consisting of serious crimes rose by 19 per cent.
In January 2022, Mayor Adams unveiled a comprehensive plan to combat the rise in crime, which included intensified foot patrols, as well as the revival of a unit in civilian clothes called the Neighborhood Safety Teams.
The mayor also launched his subway security plan in February, which sent 1,000 officers with health partners to fight homelessness and crime in the city’s transit system.
However, the initiatives did not bear fruit as crime continued to rise and homicides and rapes were the only crimes to decrease between April 2022 and April 2021.
New York City police reported 31 homicides last month, down 38 percent from last year, and the number of rapes fell by 6 percent, with 109 reported in April.
Adams ’status as a jet-setter and celebrity seems to contradict his image of a guy from the outside area raised by a single mother who was a cleaner.
He said he was beaten by police before he went to New York City Police and earned the rank of captain.
“I’m just a blue collar that scratches,” he once told Politico. “I’m potentially the first mayor of the blue collar.”

At the Met Gala Adams was in a custom-made tuxedo with an anti-gun inscription adorned on the back
Adams is known to have attended Zero Bond, a club for Manhattan members only.
He rebuked New Yorkers for staying, saying the Big Apple in March had become “so sad”.
“I want to be a city of excitement again,” he said.
The mayor also encouraged political experts for leaving the city too often, while the city is suffering from rising crime.
He was in Miami, Chicago, Batan Rouge, Louisiana and Los Angeles in the first months of his tenure.
Adams sees no contradiction in going outside at night and fighting crime in the city.
He recently combined the two themes on the Met Gala ultra show after returning from a trip to Los Angeles.
During the event on the red carpet, Adams wore a custom-made tuxedo jacket with the words “End Gun Violence” on the back.
“We need to keep this at the forefront because we enjoy the financial ecosystem,” he told the New York Times.
“Several people have warned him against traveling too much because it will hurt,” said Karen Hinton, a former spokeswoman for Mayor Bill de Blasio, NY1 News.
Adams also attended a technology conference hosted by the Milken Institute Global Conference, but at home New Yorkers are concerned about the rise in gun violence.
While he was gone, a survey conducted by Quinnipiac University found that his rating had dropped three points to 43 percent, and 54 percent of New Yorkers said he was not very good at stopping crime.
