Repeat Offender Charged with Raping 14-Year-Old in Manhattan Building.
Germaine Parham, 33, faces five counts of rape and other serious charges after allegedly following the girl into a Stuyvesant Town elevator on January 29, assaulting her, and stealing her phone. Police arrested him in Amsterdam, New York, with help from U.S. Marshals after public tips. His 32 prior arrests, including recent robberies, have fueled criticism of New York's bail policies, as he had an outstanding warrant from skipping court.
