Police Blotter
E.V. sex assault
A woman told police she was sexually
assaulted outside of an East Village
bar by a man with a British accent early
Sunday, police said.
The incident, first reported by the
New York Post, occurred at 1:45 a.m.
near E. Second St. The victim, 21, was
taken to Beth Israel Hospital.
A police spokesperson told The Villager,
“They agreed to walk to an apartment
to make out. But she didn’t agree
to anything further.”
The woman lives near the site of the
incident. Police initially had the incident
logged as a rape, but subsequent
news reports called it a sexual assault.
Police said her attacker is a white
male, 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing
160 pounds, with close-cropped hair.
The Post added he wore a white T-shirt,
khaki shorts and sneakers.

Biden Bigelow spree
Caroline Biden, 31, former Vice
President Joe Biden’s niece, apologized
last Thursday for running up charges of
more than $100,000 on a stolen credit
card, for which she was sentenced two
years’ probation, the Post reported.
“I assure you I have made amends,
full restitution, completed community
service and nothing like this will ever
happen again,” Biden told the judge.
Biden’s felony conviction was thrown
out in June for her illicit spree at Bigelow
pharmacy, on Sixth Ave. between
W. Eighth and Ninth Sts. She was allowed
to plead to the lesser charge of
petit larceny, the Post reported. She
completed 10 days of community service
at a children’s hospital and paid
full restitution of nearly $111,000.
Last year, Biden was arrested after
using the unidentified victim’s card
during one year at Bigelow. Biden reportedly
had the card after the victim
let her use it to make a $672 purchase.
