Man arrested for raping teen he met at Queens church may have other victims: NYPD
A 23-year-old man has been arrested for repeatedly raping and sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl that he met at a Queens church — and police are investigating whether he assaulted other young women, officials said Saturday.
Cops arrested Angel Ramos on May 2 after the teen came forward, claiming that he had attacked her at least four times in recent weeks, cops said.
The teen said the two met at a church in East Elmhurst and that he had attacked her against her will.
Police charged Ramos with rape, aggravated sexual assault, forcible touching and acting in a manner injurious to a child.
Ramos posted the $50,000 bail a Queens criminal court judge levied against him during his arraignment on May 4, according to court records.
NYPD Special Victims Squad detectives believe Ramos had sexually assaulted other girls at the church and in the neighborhood and are asking anyone with information about his other victims.
Anyone with information is urged to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.

Mayor Adams warns anti-ICE NYC protesters: ‘We will not allow you to destroy our city'
Mayor Eric Adams warned Antifa agitators that he won't allow them to 'destroy our city' as violent anti-ICE protests spiraled out of control across the country. 'We know that there are those who travel our country and embed themselves into issues like Antifa and others,' Hizzoner told Newsmax Wednesday night. 'And they have one goal in mind, and that is to provoke and to create disruption and disorder, particularly with our law enforcement community.'

NewsMax 'We identify them immediately, remove them from the crowds and take proper police practice when they cross the line,' he added. The NYPD nabbed 10 people in the Big Apple Wednesday as anti-ICE protestor took to the streets, law enforcement sources said.

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch has already insisted the NYPD would stand its ground and not let protests get out of control as the violence only escalated in Los Angeles and other major cities. 'Commissioner Tisch gave a very loud and clear message. We will allow peaceful protests, but we will not allow you to destroy our city or harm innocent people,' Adams said. 4 Police detain a protester during a riot in the streets near 26 Federal Plaza in NYC on June 11, 2025.

Elsewhere, Hizzoner blamed the unrest on 'outside agitators' — likening them to those who flooded Columbia University last year to 'radicalize' students amid the wave of anti-Israel demonstrations. 'If you recall during the Columbia protest, I talked about the outside agitators, professional agitators that want to come on our college campuses and radicalize our students,' he said. 'Some of the leaflets and pamphlets that were handed out talk about hating America, hating Israel, hating Jewish people. Just real mean and nasty things.'
