NYC: Girl, 15, Raped by Man Freed After Sex Assault on Boy
NYC: Girl, 15, Raped by Man Freed After Sex Assault on Boy
A parolee just released after eight years in prison for sexually assaulting a young boy and throwing him off a rooftop, is now accused of raping a 15-year-old girl in a Bronx stairwell, cops and sources said.
Casmine Aska, 29, allegedly pounced on the teen in an elevator at 140 Bellamy Loop in Co-Op City Thursday, forcing her into a stairwell and raping her, cops said. He was arrested Friday night and charged with first-degree rape, police said.
Aska had only been out on parole since Jan. 30 after being convicted of attempted murder when he pushed a 9-year-old boy — that he had sexually assaulted — off the roof of a five-story Bronx apartment building on Feb. 1, 2013, police sources said.
He was locked up in 2017 and served eight years in state prison, state prison records show.
Aska threw the child off the 1545 Nelson Ave. rooftop in Morris Heights after the victim threatened to report the sexual abuse, the sources said.
The fall left the boy in a coma. He briefly regained consciousness and told cops how his neighbor, Aska — 17 at the time — showed up at his third-floor home and dragged him to the roof.
“I’m praying to God that he gets better,” the boy’s heartbroken grandfather, 78, told The Post in Spanish at the time. “He had leg surgery, and at the same time, he was operated on his arm.”
The boy was placed on life support at the hospital but eventually survived.
His grandmother, then 72, said she was home during the incident, but thought the boy had gone to the corner store to get a soda for his mother.
The family didn’t realize what happened until a frantic neighbor yelled that the boy “is downstairs!”
By the time his mother rushed outside, the child was already being loaded into an ambulance.
Along with the second-degree attempted murder conviction, Aska was also charged with a criminal sex act, sex abuse, sexual misconduct and acting in a manner injurious to a child less than 17 for the 2013 crime, the sources said.
He has also been arrested multiple times previously for resisting arrest, menacing and assault among other charges, the sources said.
He may have used aliases in past crimes, the sources added.
