"Years before his sick attack in NYCHA's Cooper Park Houses on Thursday, Eric McMichael was arrested for raping a woman he knew inside his victim's Staten Island home, officials said. He was accused of forcing his way into her home on Sept. 8, 2019, attacking the woman, then swiping her cellphone before running off. Cops arrested him that October, about six weeks after the attack, the Staten Island Advance reported at the time."
"As part of a plea deal hammered out in 2021, McMichael pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual abuse and second-degree burglary with the understanding that he would be sentenced to five years' probation if he finished a mental health program ordered by the presiding judge. He never finished the program, officials said. In 2023, cops arrested McMichael for carjacking a livery cab driver in downtown Brooklyn."
Eric McMichael, 27, who was living in a Greenpoint shelter, entered a NYCHA building in East Williamsburg and attacked a 12-year-old girl in a stairwell at about 5:45 p.m. He threatened the girl, threw her to the ground and raped her; he did not know the child, who lived in the building and was on her way to a nearby store. McMichael was previously arrested for a September 2019 rape, pleaded guilty in 2021 under a deal tied to a mental-health program he never completed, and was free without bail while awaiting sentencing.
