EDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 27 – In the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York at noon on December 27, a proceeding was held by District Judge Pamela K. Chen on a defendant charged with enticing a Jane Do victim under 18 years of age into sexual misconduct. Inner City Press covered it. Indictment here.
The defendant, Rigoberto Garcia, was indicted and arrested in October 2021 and has been detained since.
Calling it a complex case, Judge Chen set the next conference for February 28, 2022 and excluded time under the Speedy Trial Act until then. She said that next conference, which she called non-substantive, would also have a public call-in line.
The case is US v. Rigoberto Garcia, 21-cr-540 (Chen).
