SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 27 – On November
29, 2005 Jeffrey Musumeci
arranged to meet at 13 year
old girl named Lisa on the
corner of Houston Street and
Avenue A on the Lower East
Side to take naked photos of
her, and more.
He thought.
In fact Lisa did
not exist and he had been
chatting over the Internet
with an undercover agent, not
unlike more recent "attempted
enticement of a minor to
engage in sexual activity"
convict Peter Bright, a (re)
trial that Inner City Press
covered, here.
Now
Musumeci, represented by
Brafman &
Associates, is seeking
compassionate release from FCI
Allenwood. U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York, equally attentive to
defendants who do not have
Brafman & Associates
representing them, on April 27
held a conference which Inner
City Press
covered.
Judge Berman called a decision
to push back Musumeci's
release date from April to
June "grotesque."
He noted that in
Musumeci's case, despite the
mandatory minimum, there had
been no actual victim (the
same is true for Peter
Bright).
He urged the
Assistant US Attorney, who
raised a prohibition on
release of those convicted of
sex crimes in these
circumstances, to return with
information from the Warden at
Allenwood. Inner City Press
intends to continue to cover
this and other similar cases.
This one is US v. Musumeci,
07-cr-402 (Berman).
