COURTHOUSE,
June 24รข A 31 year old man is
charged with taking a 15 year
old girl from Binghamton to
The Bronx, New York and
sexually assaulting her,
forcing her to have sex with
others for money.
He was presented before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Jennifer E.
Willis. Inner City Press was
there, the only media in the
SDNY Mag court. He was
assigned a lawyer from the
Federal Defenders, who usually
argue for release on bond,
regardless. In this
case, they consented to
detention - without prejudice
to a future application.
On July 1, 2024
the case was indicted and
assigned to District Judge
Mary Kay Vyskocil. On May 5, 2025
Judge Vyskocil docketed that
trial is set for November 3,
with any motions in limine due
before that. On October 7
Wallace's lawyer filed a
"reply memorandum in support
of defendant's motions in
limine" - with all content
redacted. On November 3 the
US Attorney's Office wrote in
to say Wallace disagrees with
their proposed jury charge
that the interstate bus
through PA and NJ, and the
phone, satisfy Count 2. Jump cut to June
16, 2026 when Wallace's
lawyers wrote in asking for a
below-Guidelines sentence of
20 years on June 24. On June 24 Inner
City Press went. Judge
Vyskocil sentenced him to 40
years, noting that he intends
to appeal and disputing the
idea there was any trial
penalty. The case is
USA v. Wallace, 1:24-cr-411
