""The people have asked for bail, and [it is] a very close case for me, sir, because I take these allegations very seriously... You do have a criminal history.""
Johnelle Beckum, a 44-year-old man with a lengthy criminal record, was released back onto the streets by a Brooklyn judge after facing allegations of sexual misconduct involving multiple victims. The incidents occurred during a 2.5-hour spree in Park Slope. Judge Philip Tisne, although acknowledging the seriousness of the charges and Beckum's criminal history, justified his decision based on Beckum’s history of attending court dates. This controversial ruling has raised concerns about the legal system's handling of repeat offenders and public safety.
