Another Sexual Assault in Sunset Park

According to the NYPD, a sexual assault that took place at 4 AM on June 25 in Sunset Park is part of a series of recent sex attacks in Brooklyn.

The victim was grabbed by the throat from behind and pushed into her building  She screamed and the assailant fled.

The latest Sunset Park sex assault is similar to the one in which William Giraldo, a Bensonhurst man, has been charged. Giraldo, a livery cab driver, allegedly followed a young woman home from a Dunkin' Donuts at about 3 AM on June 4 and raped her in the vestibule of her Sunset Park apartment building.

The victims of three other sex assaults believed to be part of the series failed to pick Giraldo out of a lineup.

The description of the assailant in all five assaults is similar:  in each case, the attacker has been described as around 5' 7" and 165 pounds.
