A 38-year-old East Elmhurst man has been arrested and charged with groping two girls in North Corona and Corona over the last week.
Noe Angel Sorriano Cruz is awaiting arraignment on charges of first-degree sexual abuse, forcible touching, second-degree sexual abuse and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.
Cruz allegedly followed a 10-year-old girl into a bodega at 39-16 104th St. at around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 3. He grabbed her vagina and took off, according to the Queens District Attorney’s office.
Then on Tuesday, Cruz allegedly followed a 13-year-old girl for several blocks down Junction Boulevard. He then grabbed the girl’s vagina from behind and hurried away.
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown issued a statement condemning Cruz’s actions.
“The defendant terrorized these innocent girls by following them first and then allegedly sexually assaulting them,” Brown said. “Let this be a constant warning to parents and all women— even pre-teens— to be mindful of their surroundings at all times. The defendant faces prison time if found guilty.”

These crimes are almost as bad as the ones allegedly committed by Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, who Trump endorsed after Moore was accused of molesting a 14-year-old girl and sexually assaulting another teenager.

Dear ‘Roy Moore’s been bored’ (?): Way to go! Why not deflect and use the old “oh yeah, what about him?” excuse; this is what children always say. Shifting blame for the ILLEGAL behavior of SORRIANO CRUZ. tsk tsk
Please explain why SORRIANO CRUZ should be allowed to walk the streets of our neighborhood. I’d like to hear your justification for this. Seriously, I need another laugh.

Let’s now praise law enforcement for taking SORRIANO CRUZ off the streets. This kind of illegal criminal behavior should have no “sanctuary”.
