‘SEX-ATTACK PACK’

Accused in brutal churchgoer assault

- By CAROLL ALVARADO and CHRIS PEREZ

A group of thugs with a “pack-like mentality” set upon a churchgoer in Queens, with one of them serving as lookout — and even handing out condoms “to help my boys’’ — during the horrific sex attack, prosecutor­s said Friday.

“The crimes that the defendants are accused of committing that night are despicable,” District Attorney Richard Brown said in a statement.

Brandon Walker, 20, Justin Williams, 17, and Julisses Ginel, 19, all of South Road in Jamaica, were arraigned as cops continued to search for a fourth suspect also accused of attacking the woman.

At Friday’s arraignmen­t, Queens Assistant District Attor- ney Eric Rosenbaum described in sickening detail how the suspects allegedly brutalized the 50-year-old Brooklyn resident at about 11 p.m. Tuesday.

“Brandon and Williams took turns engaging in oral sex from her,” Rosenbaum said, quoting the statement that Williams allegedly gave to police.

“[The fourth suspect] then put a condom on and then did it again,” he said.

Rosenbaum said Ginel copped to threatenin­g to shoot the victim if she refused to comply.

“It was supposed to be just a robbery thing,” Ginel allegedly told investigat­ors.

“I was only there. I saw her naked, and she gave them oral sex. I went to get condoms to help my boys. When I came back, the third one was finishing up.”

Ginel admitted to serving as a “lookout” so no one interrupte­d, prosecutor­s said.

Brown said, “It is alleged that with a pack-like mentality the defendants and an unapprehen­ded fourth man set upon a defenseles­s woman coming from church.

“Two of the defendants allegedly held up three innocent men at gunpoint the following evening and robbed them of their personal property,” the DA said.

The group allegedly used a pair of fake guns, which they stashed in a sewer.

They then ran back to a nearby SCO Family of Services shelter, where they had been staying, and attempted to lie low — but they were eventually busted after someone there tipped off police, authoritie­s said.

All three men have been charged with first-degree criminal sexual act, robbery and first-degree sexual abuse. Their next court date is July 28.
