Rapes are up 57%, with 11 cases reported in the 50th Precinct, according to police data.

At this time in 2025, there were seven reported cases. In The Bronx, overall rape cases are up 13%.

This comes after a 16-year-old girl was allegedly raped by 25-year-old Edward Iciano over the weekend. Police say it happened in the middle of the night Friday inside a building on Davidson Avenue. Sources say the two knew each other. He is now out on bail and facing two counts of rape.

The 50 PCT covers Riverdale, Fieldston, Kingsbridge, Marble Hill, and Spuyten Duyvil.

In New York City, police officers are trained to attend to the health and safety of victims. There is also a 24/7 hotline for victims to call for support: 646-610-7272 or 212-267-7273.
