BROOKLYN, NY – An East Flatbush man who abducted and assaulted a 13-year-old boy earlier this year has been formally arraigned for his heinous crimes.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez today announced Christopher Fiesco, 32, was arraigned on an indictment in which he is charged with predatory sexual assault, criminal sexual act, kidnapping, luring a child, sexual abuse, unlawful imprisonment, and other charges in connection with abducting and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy.
District Attorney Gonzalez said, “This was a chilling assault of an innocent child making his way home from school in broad daylight. Thankfully this brave young victim survived this horrific attack and was able to lead police to his alleged assailant, who we will now seek to bring to justice.”
Fiesco has been ordered to be held in jail without bail.
The District Attorney said that, according to the investigation, “On May 2, 2022, at approximately 3:50 p.m., the defendant, wearing a full ski mask, approached a 13-year-old boy in the vicinity of Winthrop Street and East 98th Street in East Flatbush, grabbed the child’s arm, and asked him for the time. When the child tried to leave, the defendant allegedly threatened him with a knife, told him not to scream, and took him to a building located at 87 East 53rd Street.”
The defendant allegedly forced the child to climb a fire escape and enter an apartment through the window. Once inside, the defendant told him to shower and then allegedly repeatedly sexually assaulted the child. He then let the child leave.
The victim went home and reported the assault to his family, who called 911.
