Three NYC Postal Workers Accused of Kidnapping and Assaulting Female Co-Worker in Mail Truck

Three mail workers in New York City are being accused of kidnapping a female coworker and trying to sexually attack her in the back of a mail truck after a party. This is a shocking crime that has shocked the postal community.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said that Daniel Jean, 38, Kirt Acala, 38, and Edward Chou, 40, dragged an unconscious coworker from the post office into their car and Jean then tried to attack her. The event happened on June 8, 2023, after a get-together after work at the East 11th Street post office, where all four of the people involved worked.

According to the prosecutors, the girl started to feel “weird” in the evening and then lost consciousness before she could control her body. In the post office, Jean is said to have touched her while she was weak, and then he and the other two men carried her outside to a mail truck.

Soon after the 911 call, police came and found Alcala and Chou in the driver’s seats, refusing to open the back of the truck. From inside, police heard banging and cries for help. Jean finally came out, but his trousers were undone. Inside, the victim was found lost and her trousers were undone.

Along with the kidnapping charges she already had with Alcala and Chou, Jean is now being charged with attempted rape, sexual abuse, and touching someone against their will. The New York State Supreme Court has charged all three guys.

Alvin Bragg, the district attorney for Manhattan, said that his office takes cases of sexual abuse very seriously and told victims to call 212-335-9373 for help.

The NYPD and the USPS Inspector General’s Office are still looking into the matter. USPS hasn’t replied to calls for comment on the case yet.

This terrible event serves as a warning of how important it is to keep workplaces safe and keep fighting sexual violence. As the case goes on, the accused now wait to see what will happen in court.
