"A Manhattan man convicted of raping a transgender woman inside an apartment stairwell in 2022 was ordered Tuesday to spend the next 12 years in state prison. Nicholas Encarnacion was brought before Judge Kathryn Paek on the afternoon of Aug. 26, his hands handcuffed behind his back. He was dressed in khaki color prison garb, his long hair pinned behind his back. He looked up through his glasses as he waited to learn his fate."
"According to court documents, the pair were once neighbors and lived in the same Two Bridges apartment on the Lower East Side. At around 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 9, 2022, law enforcement sources said, Ebert had just left dinner with her fiance and friends and headed back to her apartment when the violent encounter occurred. As Ebert entered the building's elevator, prosecutors said, Encarnacion followed and stood in the doorway, preventing the doors from closing before making advances."
Nicholas Encarnacion was convicted of raping a transgender neighbor, Siobhan Ebert, inside a Two Bridges apartment stairwell and was sentenced to 12 years in state prison. The assault occurred on Oct. 9, 2022, after Ebert left dinner; Encarnacion followed her into the building, blocked elevator doors, and made unwanted advances before forcefully kissing, groping, chasing her into a stairwell, pushing her to the ground, and raping her. Ebert received treatment for pain, bleeding, and inflammation. Encarnacion was arrested the same night and appeared in court handcuffed before Judge Kathryn Paek for sentencing on Aug. 26.
