JFK guard suit: Fired by horndog

- BY ESHA RAY and THOMAS TRACY With Rocco Parascando­la

A SEXUAL predator pounced on two women and a girl in a two-hour crime spree in Brooklyn early Tuesday, authoritie­s said.

The 26-year-old creep started his rampage at 6:50 a.m. when he grabbed a 29-year-old school bus matron as she walked along Fountain Ave. near Loring Ave. in Cypress Hills, cops said.

He forced her behind a tire truck in a parking lot, told her to pull her pants down, raped her and ordered her to count to 50 as he escaped, according to police.

Within the next two hours, he pulled a gun on a 15-year-old girl and forced a 26-year-old woman to perform a sex act on him, police said. He was arrested moments after he dropped off the rented Dodge Caravan he used in the attacks.

Police caught up with him at a Hertz rental-car garage outside of Kennedy Airport in Howard Beach, Queens.

It was not immediatel­y clear if he had rented the minivan specifical­ly for his mini-crime spree, the sources said.

Charges were pending as police ran the suspect through lineups Tuesday. His name was not immediatel­y released.

Maria, a dispatcher at the bus company where the first victim is employed, said the sexual predator targeted her colleague as she was running late for work.

“I called her at 6:45 a.m.,” the dispatcher recalled. “I said, ‘How long until you get here?’ She said, 'I’m walking up the block now.’

“As soon as we hung up, she felt a gun behind her head,” Maria said. allegedly

In a bizarre turn, the rapist demanded to see his victim’s ID before the attack — and took a photo as a keepsake, Maria said.

“I’m not going to hurt you, because you already complied,” he allegedly spat after the assault.

“She pulled up her pants and came running into the office, hysterical­ly screaming and crying, saying ‘He pulled out a gun! He pulled out a gun,’” Maria said.

“She couldn’t really talk . . . you couldn’t really understand what she was saying so we calmed her down,” Maria added. “Then she said he raped her.”

Her stunned called 911.

“She was shaking, nervous, she didn’t know what to do,” Maria said. “This is nerve-wracking. This could happen to anybody, you know?”

As cops drove the woman co-workers around the area to search for her attacker, the rapist resurfaced less than a mile away, on Sutter Ave. and Lincoln Ave., at 7:10 a.m., where he threatened 15-year-old girl with a gun.

The teenager ran off before the creep could get close, cops said.

An hour and a half later, he pulled a pistol on a 26-year-old woman on Jerome St. near Hegeman Ave., police said.

The fiend shoved the woman into a building lobby and forced her to perform a sex act on him.

“She was on her way to work,” said the victim’s sister, who wished not to be named. “We really don’t want to speak about it. It’s a tough situation we’re going through.”

Police are waiting for a search warrant to get inside the rented van, where they hope to find the gun, police sources said. A FORMER security guard at Kennedy Airport was forced to watch her co-workers have sex and subjected to constant sexual harassment because she rejected her boss’ advances, a new lawsuit alleges.

LaDonna Powell, 32, worked for the company now known as Allied Universal Security Services at JFK from 2012 to 2016.

Powell says she was “presented with a choice: have sex with male supervisor­s and get ahead, or refuse and be relentless­ly harassed and retaliated against,” her Manhattan Federal Court lawsuit alleges.

Because Powell refused, she endured “harrowing” torment, she claims in the suit, which was filed Tuesday.

That torment included being “repeatedly forced to stand by as her supervisor­s watched her colleagues have sex in security booths via closed circuit television cameras,” according to court papers.

She believes she was fired in May 2016 as retaliatio­n and is seeking unspecifie­d damages.

Allied had no comment on the suit.
