NEW YORK, NY – A New York man attacked three different women over the course of six days at his Eastchester apartment, according to Brooklyn District Attorney Darcel Clark. Kemoy Royal, 32, had lured women to his apartment so he can sexually assault them, according to court documents.
District Attorney Clark said, “The defendant is charged in a 23-count indictment with allegedly raping two women and sexually assaulting another during three separate incidents. He allegedly strangled two of the victims. In one of the incidents, a woman was rescued by police after she sent a message to a restaurant on a food-delivery app. We will seek justice for the victims.”
According to the investigation, on June 13, Royal allegedly met with a 27- year-old woman whom he had been speaking to on a dating app for a few days and invited her to his home.
“The defendant allegedly raped the victim and forced her to perform sexual acts on him. He also performed sexual acts on the victim without her consent. According to the investigation, at approximately 7:00 p.m. on June 14, 2022, the defendant met the second victim, a 26-year-old woman, on the street claiming he knew her through a friend,” the district attorney said. “The defendant allegedly lured her to his apartment, refused to let her leave and threatened to kill On June 18, 2022, the third victim, a 24-year-old woman, met with the defendant after talking on a dating app with him for a few months.”
At approximately 10:30 p.m., he and the victim arrived at his home where he allegedly refused to let her leave and threatened to kill her.
Police records show Royal allegedly strangled the victim and raped her throughout the night, including once at knifepoint.
“He also allegedly forced her to perform sexual acts on him, and he also performed sexual acts on her without her consent.
