Convicted NYC rapist charged with sickening sex crimes 2 months after release on parole: sources
A convicted rapist released on parole two months ago was arrested again Thursday after allegedly sexually abusing and threatening to kill a 10-year-old girl as part of a repulsive sex crime spree in Queens, police and law enforcement sources said.
John Garrison, 53, who served nearly two decades in state prison for raping a 13-year-old girl in a Brooklyn alley, allegedly committed at least five sickening acts over three days this week, sources said.
The creep’s disturbing behavior began Monday when he allegedly exposed himself in front of a 51-year-old woman who was in her car in Woodhaven, cops said.
Two days later in the same neighborhood, he crept up behind a girl, 10, and allegedly groped and threatened her, police and sources said.
“I’m going to kill you,” Garrison allegedly said, according to sources.
About 30 minutes later he allegedly approached a hair salon and masturbated in front of the store, sources said.
Then Thursday around noon he approached a 23-year-old woman from behind and yelled that she has “a fat ass,” sources said.
When she turned around, his pants were allegedly dropped and he was masturbating.
The perverted spree ended in Richmond Hill more than three hours later when police officers recognized Garrison from a wanted poster and even saw him pull his pants down, the NYPD said.
Garrison was taken into custody and charged with four counts of public lewdness, as well as charges of sex abuse with a child under 11, endangering the welfare of a child and forcible touching over his alleged encounter with the young girl, police said.
The sicko, who had six prior arrests leading up to this week, was locked up in 2007 for raping the teen girl, sources said.
He was released from prison on parole Jan. 16 after serving nearly 20 years, jail records show.
Garrison was also previously charged with first-degree sex abuse, public lewdness and endangering the welfare of a child, as well as other offenses across parts of Brooklyn and Queens, sources said.
