Wiliam Credle was arraigned on rape and assault charges in Bronx Criminal Court on Thursday and held on bail. Christopher Sadowski<\/p>\n
On Sept. 21, 2021, he was charged with assault for allegedly punching his mom, who was 35 at the time, in the head, the sources said. <\/p>\n
On Thursday, Judge Harold Bahr ordered Credle held on $50,000 bail \u2014 despite a request from the DA\u2019s office that he be locked up on $200,000 bail \u2014 pending a return court date on Nov. 18. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Crede\u2019s lawyer, Abigail Bazin, argued that he was not a flight risk \u2014 just mentally ill.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Credle does not pose a risk of flight to avoid prosecution,\u201d Bazin told the judge. \u201cI am aware of the failures to appear on his record and the warrants before your honor, and the reason he has missed court in the past is not because he\u2019s fleeing prosecution but because he\u2019s exceedingly mentally ill.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 24-year-old Bronx creep allegedly lured a 15-year-old girl he met online to his apartment and repeatedly raped…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31904,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[3283,128,57,19300,9,24,63,3018,19301,129,131,130,58],"class_list":{"0":"post-31903","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-bronx","8":"tag-arrests","9":"tag-bronx","10":"tag-metro","11":"tag-molestation","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-rape","16":"tag-sexual-predators","17":"tag-the-bronx","18":"tag-the-bronx-headlines","19":"tag-the-bronx-news","20":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31903","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31903"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31903\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
