Krafins Valcin, the senior director of academic collaboration technology, allegedly assaulted a 34-year-old IT senior associate on the way home from an office happy hour in Manhattan on Dec. 2, 2025, according to a lawsuit filed on Sept. 29 in Manhattan Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
The accuser said in court papers that she had been working with Valcin for about half a year and hadn\u2019t had any problems with him, so she agreed to carpool from the event since they both live in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

But the woman, whose name is being withheld for privacy, claimed Valcin changed his tune as they walked toward his car.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can tell you have a fat p\u2014y,\u201d he abruptly said while grabbing her fingers, the lawsuit claims. <\/p>\n
She was \u201cutterly shocked\u201d by the brazen comment and made it clear she had no interest in him \u2014 but that didn\u2019t stop him from making countless innuendos and rubbing her thigh \u201ctoward her genitals\u201d on the way home, the woman alleged.<\/p>\n
Valcin drove the woman to her car, which was parked at a train station in Newark, but then allegedly parked in front of her vehicle to keep her from leaving.<\/p>\n
She was in her car when she claims he came over to the driver\u2019s side, swung open her door and forced her hand over his erect penis as he said: \u201cThis is what you do to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Once she managed to free her hand, he dropped his pants to expose his genitals, the lawsuit claims. <\/p>\n
Terrified, she reported the incident to Newark police. But the case was dropped over lack of video evidence, a source familiar with the situation told The Post.<\/p>\n
Valcin allegedly begged for forgiveness after the sickening encounter and claimed he had \u201cmore to lose\u201d than she did.<\/p>\n

The accuser \u2014 who was \u201cutterly shocked\u201d by the vulgar comments Valcin allegedly made about her genitals \u2014 said she hasn\u2019t returned to the office since the alleged assaults. Helayne Seidman for the NY Post<\/p>\n
She contacted CUNY\u2019s Title IX office in January after suffering panic attacks in the office. <\/p>\n
She claims officials issued a no contact order between Valcin and her in February, but he remains in his position.<\/p>\n
The accuser said in court papers that she is so traumatized, she hasn\u2019t returned to the office and has been working from home since. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe worst part is that after being subjected to her co-worker\u2019s inappropriate and degrading sexual advances, CUNY did nothing to reprimand or alter the perpetrator\u2019s employment. Rather than ensuring a safe work environment for the plaintiff, CUNY actually placed the burden on her to adjust her entire workplace to avoid him,\u201d the woman\u2019s lawyer, Gerald Cohen, told The Post.<\/p>\n
When reached by phone, Valcin said he was \u201cshocked\u201d by the lawsuit and denied groping the woman, but declined to comment further.<\/p>\n
