The category of “Other Sex Crimes” is way up!
Compstat shows it’s up 500% because last year there were two of these crimes and this year there have been 12. (See here – choose Bklyn South at the top left and then 68th Precinct.)
Compstat has the crime date for that location – February 12th at 4:00 pm.
If you click on the number of sex crimes – 12 – it shows all the locations where other sex crimes happened. (Below) The location near Ft. Hamilton High school shows two crimes – the second one happening (or reported) on January 19, 2024.
The police and the politicians haven’t mentioned any crime happening near Ft. Hamilton High School.

February 25, 2024Joe Bove Stepped Down As District Leader
Hooray! Joe Bova stepped down as Democratic District Leader in the new Asian District.
Hopefully, the female District leader, Tori Burhans Kelly will too.
The duo pushed a Queens politician in the newly drawn District 43. Wai Yee was trounced as the people wanted Susan Zhuang. After Wai Yee lost, we didn’t see Bova or Kelly back Zhuang.
Bove and Tori Kelly had one job – to back eligible candidates in the area – not from another borough! In August, when other District Leaders were talking about judges, Kelly and Bove were silent. It’s time for someone new who is interested to have these positions and refresh the area.
If Kelly stays, she may want Peter Abbate to run.
The Asian District should have Asian leaders and district leaders! Jimmy Li will be taking Bove’s position. And hopefully, he will run with a new female district leader.
