Steam room sex assault vics can reach out to Equinox workers, New York appeals court says
A state appeals court has cleared the way for lawyers of those who say they were sexually assaulted inside steam rooms at Equinox gyms to find and contact possible witnesses. The decision is believed to be the first of its kind in a civil case, said Marc Held, an attorney for the victims. Equinox ran to court after Held sent letters to 71 Equinox employees in December 2022 about the now long-running lawsuit, in which 11 people claimed they were 'sexually assaulted, attacked [or subjected to] indecent exposure' in the popular gym chain's steam rooms — and that management knew and did nothing to stop it. Advertisement The company claimed Held should have warned the workers that whatever they said about the alleged sexual assaults could hurt Equinox, and that they should speak with an attorney. Nearly a dozen victims sued Equinox, claiming the gym chain knew its steam rooms were hotbeds of sexual assault. UnitedPhotoStudio – A judge in the Brooklyn case agreed, deciding in April 2023 that Held should have included the legal caution in his brief letter. Advertisement Held appealed, and this week the Second Judicial Department of the state appeals court reversed the earlier ruling. Equinox has denied the allegations, which date back to at least 2018. Christopher Sadowski 'We are pleased that the Appellate Division put an end to Equinox's attempt to obstruct and silence sexual assault victims,' Held told The Post. The 2018 case is ongoing. Advertisement There were so many complaints about the bad behavior that Equinox 'drafted a template response to go out to such victims,' according to court records. Held described Equinox's bid for the legal warning as 'def-facto Miranda rights,' a reference to the description of rights typically given to someone arrested in a criminal case. 'There should be no such requirement or constraints in a civil case,' he said. Equinox lawyers didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Man charged after postal worker stabbed in Miami road rage incident, police say
A 27-year-old man has been charged with aggravated battery and weapon use in a felony after allegedly stabbing a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier during a road rage incident, according to the Miami Police Department. On July 21 at approximately 2:43 p.m., Biscayne Park police responded to reports of a mailman stabbed in the 11700 block of NE 10th Avenue. Officers arrived to find the victim, a 60-year-old USPS employee, in uniform and bleeding from a stab wound to the chest while parked in his mail truck. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue transported the victim to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center for treatment. His current condition has not been released. Officers located the suspect, identified as Valentino Jlil, near the scene, holding a knife and bleeding from a cut on his finger. He was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Biscayne Park Police Department, where he gave a sworn, taped statement after being read his Miranda rights. According to investigators, the confrontation began when the mail carrier inadvertently failed to yield to Jlil, who was riding an electric scooter. Police say Jlil became angry, blocked the mail truck, and initiated a verbal and physical altercation that escalated into violence. Jlil faces charges of felony aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and use of a weapon while committing a felony, police said.

Driver in East Hollywood nightclub crash charged with 37 counts of attempted murder
A man who slammed his car into a crowd outside an East Hollywood nightclub after he was tossed from the venue has been charged with 37 of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon in the crash that left dozens injured early Saturday morning. Fernando Ramirez, 29, of San Clemente, faces life in prison if convicted as charged, according to Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman. Ramirez was thrown out of the Vermont Hollywood nightclub early in the morning on July 19 but returned to the bustling area in a car around 2 a.m., police said. He plowed what police described as a 'compact Nissan sedan' into a crowd of revelers, street vendors and pedestrians, with the vehicle only coming to rest after it slammed into food carts. At least 36 people sustained injuries, with some briefly trapped under the car until help arrived. Hochman said Tuesday eight of those victims suffered 'serious fractures, lacerations and broken bones.' 'But for the good grace of God, this could have been a mass casualty incident,' Hochman said. At least 23 people were hospitalized, but no fatalities were reported. Hochman said it was 'miracle' that no one died and credited the speedy response of police and firefighters for saving lives. After the crash, bystanders pulled Ramirez from the car and dragged him into the street, where he was punched, kicked and eventually shot. Authorities said he was in stable condition over the weekend. Police are still looking for the gunman. 'We understand the emotions involved but when the threat had ended ... the use of deadly force was no longer lawful,' said Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell. Ramirez is expected to make his first court appearance on Wednesday morning. It was not immediately clear if he had legal representation. The popular nightclub often has a line outside stretching down Vermont. Last Saturday it was hosting the Trapeton Party, a recurring dance party that features reggaetón and hip-hop music. Hochman said he could not comment on the altercations that led to Ramirez's removal from the club or if he was targeting anyone specifically when he allegedly barreled his car into the crowd. He also declined to comment on whether or not Ramirez was drunk or high at the time. At the scene on Saturday morning, LAPD Rampart Division Capt. Ben Fernandes said Ramirez was removed from the club for being disruptive. Ramirez has a lengthy criminal record. He was convicted of a hate crime in 2020 for assaulting a Black Whole Foods employee and sentenced to four years in prison, though part of his conviction was overturned when an appellate court ruled that a police officer violated his Miranda rights. He also has prior convictions for assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and domestic violence stretching back to 2019. At the time of Saturday's incident, he was awaiting trial on charges of driving while intoxicated and domestic battery, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office. Times Staff Writer Richard Winton contributed to this report.
