Creep with long rap sheet busted in horrific serial rape of 12-year-old girl inside NYC building
The pervert accused of repeatedly raping a 12-year-old girl inside a Bronx building late last year was busted on a warrant Wednesday, cops said.
Thomas Barnaby, 30, who has six open arrests, was nabbed about 12 hours after the NYPD announced he was wanted for raping the pre-teen “on multiple occasions” between Dec. 19 and Dec. 23, 2023, according to police and sources.
Barnaby was charged with rape in the first, second and third degrees, predatory sex assault against a child, first-degree sexual abuse, forcible touching, acting in a manner injurious to a child and second- and third-degree sexual abuse in connection to the disturbing series of crimes, police said.
The assaults took place inside a residential building at East 165th Street and River Avenue in the Concourse neighborhood, cops said.
His exact relationship to the young victim is unclear.
Barnaby, of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, was arrested in the Bronx, cops said.
Barnaby’s most serious prior arrest was for a 2016 robbery and he also was booked for theft of service, law enforcement sources said.
