SDNY COURTROOM
Exclusive, Sept 10 –
In the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on September 9, 2021 a
detention hearing was held by
Magistrate Judge Steward D.
Aaron on a former Bronx school
teacher charges with sexual
abusing girls from ten to
thirteen years old.
Jesus Concepcion was arrested
on August 7 in the Western
District of North Carolina on
a then-sealed indictment. In
the month since, Concepcion
has retained his own New York
defense lawyer, affiliated at
least in the docket with a
private investigation firm.
The
indictment says Concepcion
"a/k/a Mr. C singled out the
Minor Victims for personal
attention, he gave them money,
clothing, jewelry and other
gifts, and he provided them
with alcohol... inducing
several of the Minor Victims
to engage in sexual activity
with him."
But no
press release was put out
about this case.
Judge Aaron
returned from a session with
Pre Trial Services and said he
would release Conception on a
$1,000,000 bond, with travel
restricted to SDNY, EDNY and
Carolina.
Jump cut three
years to September 4, 2024,
when the US Attorney's Office
asked for 45 years
imprisonment on September
10. Two days before
trial, Concepcion pled guilty
to 10 counts...
On September 10,
Inner City Press went, and
victims spoke. From the thread:
Victim 3: My
sister, I am so sorry for not
protecting you, for bringing
this horrible man into our
lives.
Victim 3: She was
only 12! You are evil! If it
was up to me, I would ask for
capital punishment. I'm sorry,
Your Honor.
Judge: Take your
time....
After the
victims' testimony, including
written testimony by two
victims' mother, read out by
the interpreter, Concepcion
was sentenced to thirty years.
This case is US
v. Concepcion, 21-cr-479
(Preska).
