SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 1 – A bench
warrant was issued on June 17
for Rovier Carrington, charged
with perjury after he accused
former MTV executive Brian
Graden of luring him into a
sexual relationship with
promises of stardom, and
accused Brad Grey, the late
CEO Paramount Pictures, of
rape.
After
Judge Caproni spoke in court
in New York about the arrest
warrant, Carrington wrote in
saying he was seeking his
second booster and wanted
three more seek.
Judge Caproni
said he "chose to disobey the
clear oders of this Court. He
must now face the consequences
of his decision. Application
denied."
On
June 16, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Valerie E.
Caproni ordered: "Defendant
writes to request appearing
remotely. ENDORSEMENT:
Application DENIED. There are
tickets available from Los
Angeles to New York. See e.g.,
Jet Blue 1574 (leaving LAX at
11:55 P.M. and arriving at EWR
at 8:34 A.M.); United Airlines
1082 (leaving LAX at 10:40
P.M. and arriving at EWR at
6:49 A.M.). Mr. Carrington is
required to be in Court on
Thursday, June 16, 2022 at
2:15 P.M. If Mr. Carrington
fails to appear, the Court
will hold an in person bail
review hearing on Friday, June
17, 2022 at 11:00 A.M. The
hearings will take place in
Courtroom 443 of the Thurgood
Marshall Courthouse, 40 Foley
Square, New York, NY 10007. If
Mr. Carrington fails to appear
at tomorrow's hearing and at
Friday's bail review hearing,
the Court will issue a bench
warrant for his arrest; and if
he fails to appear Thursday,
but does appear Friday, the
Court will refrain from
issuing a bench
warrant."
Inner City Press
went to Judge Caproni's
courtroom at 11 am.
The prosecutor
was there, and a stand-in
Federal Defender. But no
Carrington. Judge Caproni said
she was issuing a bench
warrant.
She excluded time
under the Speedy Trial Act
until July 1, by which time
she predicted the U.S.
Marshals will have arrested
Carrington and brought him to
New York area jail.
But it was not to
be. And Judge Caproni wants to
know why (Inner City Press
proffers a one word
explanation: Oklahoma, as it,
BOP's absurd transfer hub) -
"MEMO ENDORSEMENT as to Rovier
Carrington on [43] LETTER
MOTION addressed to Judge
Valerie E. Caproni from Kevin
Mead dated July 28, 2022 re:
Exclusion of Speedy Trial Act
Time Through September 1.
ENDORSEMENT: By no later than
Wednesday, August 3, 2022, the
Government must respond with
an explanation as to why it
has taken more than a month to
move the Defendant from the
Central District of California
to the Southern District of
New York. SO ORDERED.
(Responses due by 8/3/2022)
(Signed by Judge Valerie E.
Caproni on 7/29/2022)." Watch
