Man Arrested in Connection to Teenage Rape and Robbery in Manhattan

A 33-year-old suspect, identified as Germaine Parham, was taken into custody by the New York Police Department (NYPD) Tuesday after a lengthy manhunt. Authorities alleged that Parham approached a 14-year-old girl in her Stuyvesant Town building on Thursday morning and subjected her to a violent sexual assault.

According to police, Parham then stole the teenager's cell phone before fleeing the scene. The NYPD's U.S. Marshals New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force tracked down Parham outside of Manhattan, although exact details of his location remain undisclosed.

Parham is now facing multiple serious charges, including rape, robbery, predatory sexual assault, kidnapping, sex abuse, and criminal weapons possession. The suspect has no known address at this time, with police stating that he is currently homeless.

As news of the arrest broke, officials pointed to a broader trend of increasing reported rapes in certain neighborhoods of Manhattan. The 13th Precinct, which includes StuyTown/Peter Cooper Village, Gramercy, Flatiron, and Union Square, has seen a slight spike in reported cases this year compared to the same period last year.

While citywide numbers remain relatively steady, the uptick in reported rapes within the precinct raises concerns about public safety.
 
omg, this is just so messed up 🤕 what's going on with these young people, can't they see they're being taken advantage of? I mean, a 14-year-old girl, that's way too young, and some random guy just takes advantage of her and then steals her phone? no wonder crime rates are on the rise in Manhattan right now. authorities need to step up their game, especially with all these new technologies available for tracking down suspects like this. and it's even more concerning when you think about how many cases go unreported... what can we do as a community to support the victims of such crimes? 🤝
 
omg u can't even walk down the street without some psycho doing something like that 🤯 14 years old is just not fair and i feel for her & all the other girls who have been through this 🙏 it's crazy how one guy can ruin so many lives 33 might seem old but mentally he's still that scrawny teenager trying to make a name for himself, probably had his own issues too... anyway, NYPD is doing their thing and i hope Parham gets the max punishment 💯 let's just say this is another reason why we need more support for girls & women in general 🤗
 
😱😔🤕 33-year-old guy doing terrible thing, can't believe someone so young and innocent be go thru this 🌹😢. NYPD doin good job catching bad guy, but hope Parham get max sentence 💯👮‍♂️. So sad that one neighborhood in Manhattan see spike in rape cases, gotta feel safe walking around 24/7 🚫💔. Need more support for victims and their families, and more awareness about consent 👥💬. Can't let this kind of thing keep happening to teens and young adults 💪🌟
 
🤕 I mean, it's crazy that someone can just do this to a 14-year-old girl and then not even have an address to go by. Like, where is our justice system? It's all about protecting the victim but what about the guy who did this? He's gonna be out on the streets in no time, a free man with multiple charges against him. 😡 And it's not like he's the only one... I mean, 13th precinct has seen a spike in reported cases already and that's really worrying. Can't we just get to the bottom of this and make sure these perpetrators face the consequences? 🚔💼
 
omg just heard that Germaine Parham got arrested for raping a 14-yr-old girl 🤯 like what's going on in manhattan?? anyone know how common these cases are in stuytown? gotta feel so safe walking around neighborhoods with kids, right? 13th precinct is dealing with this? hopefully they get help from the nypd ASAP 🚔💨 and btw, if u're a teenager in manhatten, pls stay safe out there 💕
 
omg this is soooo sad what's going on with these youth nowadays 🤕 germaine parham is a sicko and needs help ASAP 🚨 14 years old girl go thru so much trauma 😭 & its not just one case, whole neighborhood in panic 👺 NYPD doing good job tracking him down but this should never happen to any kid again 😢
 
🤕 I mean what's going on here? A 33-year-old dude taking advantage of a 14-year-old girl like that is just sickening 😷. And then he steals her phone?! What kind of monster does that? 🚫

I'm so tired of these stories coming out and no one ever seems to catch the guy before it's too late. I know we need to be more vigilant, but it feels like we're just scratching the surface here. Our precincts are already dealing with an increase in reported rapes, it's like the system is failing our young girls 🚪.

We need more support for these victims and their families, and we need better resources for our law enforcement to track down people like this Parham guy before they can hurt anyone else 🤝. It's just not right that he's been living on the streets, free to roam around and commit crimes without being caught. Something needs to change here 💪.
 
OMG, can't believe what's been going on in Manhattan 🤯‍♀️😱 The thought of that poor 14-yr-old girl being traumatized is just heartbreaking 💔👀 Germaine Parham sounds like a real monster, no wonder the NYPD was determined to catch him 💪. It's crazy how a guy can be homeless and still manage to evade law enforcement for so long 🤦‍♂️

I'm also kinda frustrated that this is happening again in an area that's supposed to feel safe 😒 The uptick in reported rapes is a real concern, especially with all the gentrification going on and new faces moving into neighborhoods 👥. We need to make sure our community is supporting each other and reporting any suspicious behavior ASAP 💕👍
 
I was just thinking about how much I love trying new foods from different places while traveling 🍴🗺️... like that time I tried this crazy spicy dish in Thailand and my mouth was on fire for hours afterward 😂! But anyway, back to serious stuff... have you ever noticed how some movies can really make you think about the importance of consent? Like, just saw this movie the other day where the main character's actions were super problematic because he didn't ask anyone if they wanted to do what he was doing 🤔. It's crazy how much empathy we can gain from watching a good story... and I guess that's why I'm always drawn to stories about strong women who aren't afraid to speak up 💁‍♀️!
 
man whats going on with NYC lately? they got some major issues with crime and stuff i mean, rape is never okay but its like why is this happening in our own backyard? and what can we do as citizens to help prevent these things from happening? also, homeless people dont just magically disappear or become law-abiding citizens overnight its time for us to rethink how we address homelessness in NYC 🤔💡
 
🤕 I just can't even think about this all day lol, but like, I guess it's a good thing that someone is finally being held accountable for such heinous crimes. It's crazy to think about how one person can have so much power and influence over another's life, you know? 🤷‍♀️ The fact that the NYPD was able to track down this guy and bring him in is just amazing, I mean, it's a huge weight off of all those families' shoulders. And let's be real, it's also a great reminder for everyone to stay vigilant and look out for each other, especially our younger ones 🌟💕
 
🤕😢🚔 just saw the news about that guy in Manhattan... can't believe someone would do such a thing to a 14-year-old girl 🤯. police are doing their job btw 👮‍♂️, they should get some props for catching him after all those days of searching 🏃‍♂️.

i feel bad for the victim and her family... that's totally not fair to them 😔. as a city, we gotta make sure we're taking care of our own kids 💕. if you see something, say something - it's so simple yet effective 🗣️!
 
I just can't believe what's been happening in Manhattan lately 🤕. I mean, a 14-year-old girl gets assaulted like that? It's just heartbreaking. And for someone to steal her phone too? That's just cruel 😡. The police have to do everything they can to catch these guys and keep people safe.

I'm not sure what's going on with the neighborhoods in Manhattan, but it does seem like there's been a bit of an increase in reported rapes this year. I hope the authorities are taking it seriously and doing something about it 💡. It's just a shame that there are still people out there who think they can do whatever they want without consequences.

I'm glad they were able to catch Parham, but now what? Is he going to get the help he needs or is he just going to rot in jail? 🤔
 
🤕 just heard about this 14-yr-old girl getting attacked by some dude and i cant even... its just devastating thinking about a kid that young going thru something so traumatic 🌪️ why do these things happen to innocent ppl? we need more support for victims of sexual assault & their families 💖 NYPD is doing everything they can but its not enough, we should be seeing more action being taken against perpetrators ASAP 💥
 
😔 I cant even imagine what that poor girl must be going through. This just feels like another case of things not getting better fast enough. I mean, remember when we were in school and our parents used to tell us to always be aware of our surroundings? Now it seems like those simple precautions aren't doing the trick anymore.

This 13th Precinct situation is really concerning though. It's like, how are people supposed to feel safe if they're constantly looking over their shoulders? I'm still trying to process this news... 14-year-olds shouldn't have to be worried about being assaulted by a stranger in broad daylight. 🤕 What happened to the good ol' days where we could walk down the street without fear of, you know, anything bad happening?

Ugh, just thinking about it is giving me the chills...
 
I don't know what's going on with this guy but 14? That's so young, how did he even... I need to see some pics of him or more info on his background. What's with all these charges too? Rape, robbery, predatory sexual assault... that's a lot. I'm not saying he didn't do it, but where was the investigation? How long were they looking for him before they finally caught him?

And the NYPD is talking about a trend in Manhattan, but what about resources for victims or support services? That's what should be on everyone's mind here. Not just "oh no, another bad guy arrested". What's being done to help those girls who get assaulted? I need some facts and figures on that.

And homeless, huh? So he's just roaming the streets? That doesn't add up. Did they check his ID, social media? Anything? This whole thing is weird... 🤔
 
😔🌃 this is literally so messed up how can u even do that 2 a minor its not ok at all 🤬 and theres more cases out there thats what worries me people gotta be more aware of whats going on around them esp in isolated places like Stuyvesant Town. 💡 cant we just make sure everyone feels safe & heard especially our youngins??
 
😔 it's so frustrating when you hear about some dude out there thinkin he can do whatever he wants to a teenager... 14 years old! That's like, basically still a kid herself. I mean, what even is wrong with this guy? He just goes up to her in the hallway and assaults her, then takes her phone? 📱 And now he's facing serious charges... finally, justice will be served 🙏 but my heart goes out to that poor girl who had to go through all this. We gotta keep lookin at these issues and try to figure out why they're happenin' more often in certain areas of the city. Maybe there's a way to prevent somethin like this from happenin' again 🤔
