Venezuelan migrant with ties to Tren de Aragua busted in sick robbery of NYC prosecutor after she caught him masturbating in her home
A Venezuelan migrant with links to Tren de Aragua has been arrested for allegedly robbing one of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecutors in her apartment building after she busted him masturbating, police sources told The Post Wednesday.
Brandon Simosa, 25, who has apparent ties to the vicious prison gang, was nabbed outside the Row Hotel migrant shelter in Midtown Manhattan Tuesday night over the sick ordeal, the sources said.
He is accused of robbing the 38-year-old assistant district attorney when she arrived home to her 44th Street pad at about 2 a.m. Sunday and busted him midway through the lewd act in the building’s hallway.
Simosa allegedly fled with the prosecutor’s phone after she dropped it in the moment, the sources said.
The phone was later traced to the vicinity of the migrant shelter, according to sources.
He was cuffed on a slew of charges, including sexually motivated robbery, grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
It wasn’t immediately clear how long the alleged perp has been in the United States, or if he has been staying at one of New York City’s taxpayer-funded migrant shelters.
Still, he already has a lengthy rap sheet in the Big Apple with six other prior arrests in the last five months, according to sources.
Simosa was picked up just last week in Manhattan and later cut loose for grand larceny and criminal mischief, police sources said.
He was also arrested for a string of grand larceny, robbery and transit evasion incidents in Queens between June and August, per sources.
The migrant had been due to face a Queens court on Thursday after taking a guilty plea in the earlier cases, the sources added.
The Manhattan DA’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Illegal alien, that is what he is and will always be until put in prison here, in the US, or in his country.
