NEW YORK — A New York City man is facing a litany of charges in connection with the kidnapping and sexual assault of a 13-year-old boy who was walking home from school, according to the Brooklyn district attorney’s office.
Christopher Fiesco, of East Flatbush, Brooklyn, faces charges of predatory sexual assault, first-degree criminal sexual act, second-degree kidnapping, sexual abuse, and other charges, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced Wednesday.
A judge ordered Fiesco held without bail. His next court appearance is scheduled for August 10.
Information about Fiesco’s attorney is unknown.
The charges follow an investigation that found that on May 2, shortly before 4 p.m., Fiesco, who was wearing a ski mask, approached a 13-year-old boy in the area of Winthrop and East 98th streets in East Flatbush, grabbed the minor by the arm, allegedly asking him the time. However, when the boy tried to walk away, Fiesco held him at knifepoint, told him not to scream, and took him to a building at 87 East 53rd Street, according to prosecutors.
Fiesco allegedly then forced the boy up a fire escape and entered an apartment through the window. When they got inside, Fiesco told the boy to take a shower before repeatedly sexually assaulting him, according to the prosecutor. After the alleged attacks, Fiesco let the minor escape.
The boy went home and told his family what happened to him. The family was the one who called 911 to report the crime.
