Queens District Attorney accuses man of kidnapping, raping two teenagers and a 21-year-old girl; NYPD looking for new victims

Police are looking for other possible victims of a 28-year-old sexual predator accused in Queens of kidnapping and raping a 21-year-old woman and two teenage girls, one of whom he allegedly held hostage for more than four months.

“It’s hard to put into words the cruelty these poor girls endured,” said the Queen’s District Attorney, Melinda Katz.

NYPD Detectives at Large on January 6 arrested 28-year-old Andres Portilla on multiple charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual harassment, as well as child endangerment charges.

“This guy is a sexual predator,” said NYPD Chief James Essig. “He seems to be preying on girls who have run away or who have some kind of problem. If there are other victims there, they should call us.”

During his arraignment over the weekend in Queens Criminal Court, Portilla was sentenced to jail without bail. At another hearing on Thursday, the order to imprison him was renewed.

Two complaints in Queens Criminal Court accuse Portilla of physically terrorizing her victims and say the horror began on September 1 for the 15-year-old when she agreed to move into Portilla’s apartment in Queens.

Portilla is accused of repeatedly assaulting a teenager who, according to police, went missing in August in Viandanch, Louisiana.

In one case, the complaint says, Portilla “stabbed the victim in the knee with a knife and dragged it up to the thigh, causing severe pain and bleeding.”

Portilla is also accused of hitting a teenager in the eye with a wrench. The doctor later discovered that the 15-year-old girl had a fractured orbit in her right eye, court documents say.

Around November 1, Portilla forced the teenager into his car and refused to let her go, according to the criminal case.

The attacks continued – and from November 1 to January 6, Portilla repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted her in a car, the complaint said.

Portilla lured the second 15-year-old victim into his car on Dec. 16 at the intersection of 91st Square and Corona Avenue in Elmhurst’s business district, another criminal lawsuit says.

According to the complaint, as soon as the second 15-year-old girl got inside, Portilla told her: “You don’t get out of the car.”

The complaint does not say why or how Portilla put a second 15-year-old girl in the car, but it does say that the second victim saw another teenage girl also be a passenger.

The complaint says that Portilla blindfolded his new victim, ordered her to undress and raped her.

It is not clear from the complaint how long the second 15-year-old victim was in the car.

According to court documents, the third victim in the case confronted Portilla and the first 15-year-old victim in the early hours of January 1st.

This victim, a 21-year-old woman, left 7-Eleven at Queens Plaza South in Long Island City a few hours after midnight and was looking for a place to charge her mobile phone when she ran into Portilla and the 15-year-old girl. girl on a red honda accord 2008.

The two offered to charge the woman’s phone in the car, but as soon as she got into the car, Portilla locked the doors and sped off, Queens prosecutors and NYPD Chief James Essig said Thursday.

When the 21-year-old refused sex, Portilla beat her with a monkey wrench and raped her, according to the criminal complaint.

The sexual harassment in the car continued for the next three days, the complaint said.

Meanwhile, the family of the 21-year-old boy filed a missing persons report with the police. When Portilla was looking through the 21-year-old girl’s mobile phone on January 4, police said, he saw a missing person’s ad. The woman’s family also spoke to the media and her mother said she misses her daughter and wants her home.

Seeing the leaflet, Portilla dropped the 21-year-old from the car and drove off. When the woman returned home, she told the police and her family about her ordeal.

When police arrested Portilla in his car in Jackson Heights on January 6, they also found a 15-year-old girl who had been with him since September and took her to treatment.

Portilla was convicted of second-degree endangerment in Queens on August 15, court documents say. Details of the case were not available on Thursday.

Rape victims can report their cases to the NYPD by calling a dedicated 24-hour hotline at (212) 267-RAPE. All calls are confidential.
