Terrence told jail officials again and again that he’d been raped — five times, he said, over the course of multiple stints in city custody.
He filed reports, flagged officers and in two instances, pointed to video that seemed to back him up, including one in which a fellow male detainee is seen leaving the victim’s cell with what appears to be a wet spot on the front of his pants.
But each time, jail investigators brushed his claims aside, labeling them “unsubstantiated” or “unfounded.”
Now, New York City is paying the 32-year-old $4 million to settle three separate August 2020 lawsuits in Bronx Supreme Court.
The agreement, recorded in recently filed court papers, ends a case that accused the Department of Correction of not meeting the most basic duty of any jail system: to protect the people it detains.

Mayor Eric Adams may be on a visit to Israel, but Monday he left Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani a headache: He increased the budget for city government spending to $118 billion, bequeathing a projected $4.7 billion deficit to be closed before the 2027 budget is adopted next summer. And he offered no plans to deal with federal aid cuts that could reach billions of dollars.

On the FAQ NYC podcast, hosts Christina Greer and Harry Siegel ask: Is anyone in this town not running for Congress? Is it time for Democrats to finally usher an older generation out of Washington, and is there a way to build a party whose representatives are better distributed in terms of age, identity and geographic distribution? Is it time to finally feel hopeful about New York City’s future?
Reporter’s Notebook
E-Commerce Explosion
The number of packages each day in New York City has more than doubled since 2017, 18 large e-commerce distribution facilities have been built in the city since then and the number of workers delivering them has almost doubled since 2014, according to a report issued Monday by outgoing City Comptroller Bad Lander.
Some 2.5 million packages are delivered each day, the number of big warehouses has reached 18, including 11 constructed just since 2020, and the number of workers jumped to 45,400 from about 24,000 in the last decade, the report noted.
The increase has been accompanied by a sharp increase in accidents and pollution around the facilities and by increasing worker injuries, Lander noted, in calling for steps to improve regulation of e-commerce deliveries in the city including establishing city labor rules for such facilities and implementing land use regulations for where they can be located.
