East Williamsburg man get 10 years for attempted rape while victim forgives him
A man sentenced to 10 years in prison for tackling a woman and pulling down her underwear in an East Williamsburg attempted rape, could hardly face his victim as he sobbed with his back to her in court on Tuesday, even as she forgave him.
“I want you to know I feel very sorry for you,” the woman who had been assaulted said looking to the man who attempted to rape her nine months ago. “You’re going to go away for a very long time.”
Todd Deas, 31, audibly sobbed in Brooklyn Supreme Court as his victim spoke to his back, never allowing for eye contact.
