Queens Man Indicted for Sex Trafficking Two Women in Bay Ridge
When I saw the Brooklyn District Attorney’s statement about sex trafficking, I thought it was the story we had seen about the man in Flatbush, who lured an 18-year-old from Ohio to Brooklyn. (See DA Gonzalez’s statement)
But it wasn’t that – Two women were sex trafficked in Bay Ridge. (News)
In April, the two women responded to a massage therapists ad to work at Rose Spa at 479 – 78th Street. No one would notice this business unless they lived on the block or responded to an advertisement. (See location)
Rose Spa was open 24 hours and the owner made the two women work all day – 7 days a week. He would not let them leave the building.
“It is alleged that the defendant raped the 38-year-old victim on or about May 15, 2022, inside of Rose Spa after she refused to have sex with him. On May 19, 2022, the woman walked into the 68^th Precinct to report the rape and the defendant was arrested on May 25, 2022.” (Source)
How many other small places like this exist in Bay Ridge or Brooklyn where women are being abused?

In May, we discussed the crime stats for Bay Ridge – a fifth rape had been reported that month. (See here)
Rape is a serious issue and communities need to discuss it and deal with it – not pretend it didn’t happen because some people feel uncomfortable discussing it or don’t want to do anything about it.
There’s been 7 reported rapes in our community already this year.

Vote for David Yassky to Problem Solve in Brooklyn
Every time I have heard David Yassky speak, he is talking about problem-solving an issue in Brooklyn. Our current senator, Gounardes likes to go to Albany, but issues in Brooklyn are not handled.
Yassky is a Progressive, like Gounardes, so he is going to vote very similarly in Albany. Yet, Yassky is a problem solver. During the debate with Gounardes, David Yassky explained what was missing from the bail law. David made it sound like it was simple to fix. (Listen here)
Gounardes has served two terms and is not able to help many residents. Andrew promised to help, but he doesn’t follow through. Either he doesn’t think thousands of people in his district needed help or he doesn’t want to help. Andrew also won’t share how the money from this district is spent. We only saw this. Andrew doesn’t respond to email.
While David Yassky was campaigning in Bay Ridge, we saw him standing and listening to people. He wasn’t telling them all about himself, he wanted to hear what they needed.

In a park interview, David Yassky was aware of his surroundings and talked about the brown grass at the park. He said it would be part of his job as senator to get that replaced and help the park look its best. (See video) The women interviewing Yassky asked about how he helped make PS 8 into a successful school. David Yassky was very humble and explained how it took several years working with the school community.
Andrew Gounardes wasn’t able to speak up about problems in Bay Ridge. When this happened, Andrew was silent. A representative for the community needs to take on the problems, not ignore them.
Finally, animal lovers know Gounardes has not supported S7911. (See bill) Some of Gounardes’ friends did, but Andrew didn’t. We know David Yassky is a dog lover and we can count on him to help dogs in shelters. If you don’t know why this bill is important, see here.
Bay Ridge and Brooklyn – let’s give David Yassky a chance to help Brooklyn. We’ve seen what Gounardes can do, it’s time to do something else.
Please vote in the Democratic Primary today.

Jessica R. Helped Dyker Heights Get Rid of a Dangerous Branch Near a School
Residents were worried about tree with a large broken branch on a tree on 12th Avenue and 81st Street. IS 201 is very close by.
With school beginning soon, the Dyker Heights resident called 311 to report the branch. The response on 311 stated that NYC Parks would be out to look at the tree in 120 days (so by Christmas they would come out).
The neighbor shared these pictures and the report online.
When Jessica R. saw her neighbor’s message about the tree, she contacted the neighbor. Five minutes later the FDNY were cutting the broken branch!!
Jessica R., your story made my day! There are so many wonderful neighbors in our community helping each other out!!
Thank you to both of these women for caring! You are the people who make Brooklyn great.

There are two men driving around in a light green mini van with New Jersey plates (seen below) in the morning. Around 6:00 am, they are breaking into cars on 7th Avenue and 75th Street.
Avoid parking on that street. Hopefully they will be caught soon.
