In a harrowing scene during sentencing at Manhattan Supreme Court, a maid fainted while her prosecutor read her victim-impact statement about the building superintendent Jose Espinoza, who raped and abused her over several years. The victim, who had been blackmailed and terrorized, described how his actions shattered her life, saying she is struggling to live normally. Espinoza, a father of three, received a 22-year prison sentence after being convicted of multiple charges, including rape and labor trafficking. The incident highlighted the deep mental and emotional scars left by such violent crimes.
Because of this bastard, I'm struggling to continue with my life normally," the middle-aged mom said in her statement, which was read by Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Jonathon Junig.
For many years, I suffered hell for no reason at all. He destroyed my life and my innocent family," the woman said in her letter to Judge Felicia Mennin, begging her to show no mercy when sentencing the rapist.
