Freire, who was not an FIT student, reassured the women that he was providing cocaine from Mexico and insisted it did not contain fentanyl, which he described as \u201cpoison,\u201d the indictment alleges.<\/p>\n

Moises Freire, 19, was charged with federal crimes after allegedly giving fentanyl that killed an FIT student as he raped the woman in her dorm room after she fell unconscious. Sherry Young \u2013 stock.adobe.com<\/p>\n
After convincing the students to take the illegal drug in their dorm, both students immediately lost consciousness and suffered from acute fentanyl poisoning, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
Freire, who did not consume any of the fentanyl, then raped one of the students while the other lay unconscious several feet away in the single-room dorm, according to the documents.<\/p>\n
The teen allegedly waited about 45 minutes to contact campus security. During that time, he texted photos of the unconscious victims to friends \u2014 including the woman he allegedly raped, who was naked below the waist.<\/p>\n
He initially told campus security that the women were unconscious because they simply had too much to drink, the documents said.<\/p>\n
Campus security determined the women were suffering from acute fentanyl intoxication and administered emergency services and Narcan before they were rushed to the hospital, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

The woman who was raped never regained consciousness at the hospital and died several days later on March 21, the indictment said.<\/p>\n
The other student eventually regained consciousness and was discharged from the hospital.<\/p>\n
Before he met up with the women, Freire had told Brian Peralta Cabrera, 18, that he needed drugs that \u201cwould last the entire night,\u201d and that if they were strong enough to get the students addicted, it would be a \u201cwin-win situation,\u201d the court documents say.<\/p>\n
Freire and Cabrera, of Queens, were each charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance resulting in death and serious bodily injury \u2014 which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison.<\/p>\n

Freire was also slapped with distribution of a controlled substance resulting in death and serious bodily injury, as well as distribution of a controlled substance with the intent to commit rape.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe allegations in this case are beyond disturbing and include a cruel deception and unimaginable assault,\u201d Drug Enforcement Administration New York Task Force Division Special Agent in Charge Christopher Roberts said in a press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCollege should be a place where young people can learn, grow, and pursue their dreams, not a place where predators exploit their vulnerability. Every student deserves to feel safe, whether walking across campus, sitting in a classroom, or inside their own dorm room,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch called the actions of Freire and Cabrera \u201ctruly unconscionable\u201d and \u201cas sick and twisted as they come.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs alleged in the indictment, the two defendants supplied the fentanyl that killed one young woman and nearly killed another,\u201d Tisch said.<\/p>\n
\u201cRather than immediately seek help, Freire allegedly first raped the incapacitated victim who died and then lied to first responders,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese actions are as sick and twisted as they come.\u201d<\/p>\n
The duo were first arrested in March and pleaded not guilty to charges that didn\u2019t include rape.<\/p>\n
Freire and Cabrera remain in federal custody and have yet to be arraigned on the new indictment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harry Rosales Pino, a third defendant, pleaded guilty in September to conspiracy to distribute narcotics resulting in death and serious bodily harm and will be sentenced in December.<\/p>\n
FIT, which is part of New York\u2019s state university system, was not mentioned in the court documents, but a defense attorney previously named the college at a prior hearing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
FIT didn\u2019t immediately return a request for comment.<\/p>\n
