"Those crimes included putting his live-in nanny in a headlock, grabbing her breast and forcing her hand onto her genitals in February; menacing a nurse at Mount Sinai South Hospital in January by swinging an IV pole at her and threatening to fing kill her; menacing and grabbing the arm of a congregant of a synagogue in May; and repeatedly evading bridge tolls while driving a Lamborghini and Ferrari."
"Jonathan Braun, 42, of Long Island, who was sentenced in 2019 to 10 years for running a violent, $6 million-a-week pot trafficking operation, caught a break on the last day of Trump's first term of office, when the president commuted his sentence but required he complete his supervised release. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn were asking he get the maximum five years for squandering that second chance in a string of law-breaking escapades."
Jonathan Braun received a new 27-month federal sentence after committing a string of violent and threatening offenses following a prior commutation. Braun had been sentenced in 2019 to 10 years for operating a large-scale, violent marijuana trafficking ring and had his sentence commuted with a supervised-release requirement. New offenses included sexually assaulting his live-in nanny, swinging an IV pole and threatening a hospital nurse, menacing a synagogue congregant, and evading bridge tolls while driving luxury cars. Victims described lasting harm. Braun sought time served, citing mental illness and drug abuse; prosecutors sought a longer term.
