The suspect, an unnamed twenty-year-old haredi man who is said to come from a prominent family, turned himself in earlier this week after the NYPD released security camera footage of him.
A police investigation into an ultra-orthodox man believed to have attempted to abduct a Brooklyn teenager was closed this week after the victim stopped cooperating with police due to communal pressure, the Daily News reported on Wednesday.
The suspect, an unnamed twenty-year-old haredi man who is said to come from a prominent family, turned himself in earlier this week after the NYPD released security camera footage of him. The suspect accosted the fourteen year old girl in the Midwood neighborhood of Brooklyn last Tuesday, attempting to physically restrain her and demanding that she come with him until confronted by a third party.
Despite the suspect turning himself in, however, police sources who spoke with the New York newspaper asserted that no further probe into the matter is in the works as the family of the victim “stopped cooperating with the cops.”
