US Edition3 USPS workers charged in kidnapping of coworker that included attempted rape, Manhattan DA says
- In New York City on June 8, 2023, USPS workers Daniel Jean, Kirt Acala, and Edward Chou, ages 38, 38, and 40 respectively, were involved in an incident with a female colleague after an after-work birthday party at the Cooper Post Office in Manhattan's East Village.
- According to the indictment, the incident occurred after an after-work birthday celebration at the East Village's Cooper Post Office, located at East 11th and 4th Avenue, where the victim and alleged attackers worked together.
- The indictment alleges that Jean, Acala, and Chou dragged their incapacitated colleague, who reportedly lost consciousness and "could not control her body," out of the post office and into a mail truck.
- Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg stated on Wednesday that, "As alleged in this indictment, these three postal workers dragged their incapacitated colleague out of a post office and into a mail truck, where one attempted to rape her," further emphasizing that investigations and prosecutions of sexual violence are taken extremely seriously.
- Authorities responding to a 911 call found Acala and Chou in the front of the mail truck and Jean in the back with the woman, leading to charges of sexually motivated kidnapping against all three men, with Jean facing additional charges including attempted rape and sexual abuse; all three have pleaded not guilty, and the USPS acknowledged the case but would not comment on the charges, as the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General conducts an ongoing investigation with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
