Outrage as trans illegal immigrant gets just 6-month sentence for sexual assault of NYC teen | 25 March 2026 | The “extraordinarily low” six-month sentence handed to a trans illegal immigrant who admitted to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy in Manhattan sparked outrage Wednesday from a victims’ rights group and left even former prosecutors in shock. Legal eagles were baffled by the slap-on-the-wrist plea deal the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office struck with Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a 31-year-old transgender woman from Colombia, in the vicious 2025 assault of a 14-year-old boy in East Harlem. “I didn’t know you could get six months on this,” said Seth Zuckerman, a former prosecutor in the Brooklyn DA’s Office and current criminal defense lawyer. “It’s generally a minimum of two and a maximum of seven, so I think something must be wrong here,” he said, referring to the penalty for the charge of second-degree rape, to which Contreras-Suarez pleaded guilty on Tuesday.
