NYC sicko Eric McMichael arraigned in Brooklyn court for raping 12 year old girl



Chaos erupted in a Big Apple courtroom Saturday night as the family of the 12-year-old girl allegedly raped in the stairwell of a Brooklyn housing-project building came to blows with the twisted homeless creep accused of carrying out the horrific attack.

Eric McMichael, 27, was arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court and hit with a slew of new charges for viciously attacking the young girl and threatening to shoot her if she didn’t follow him into the Williamsburg stairwell Thursday night, prosecutors revealed.

But during the brute’s court hearing, many of the victim’s loved ones who packed the courtroom shouted and cursed at the suspect and judge before being escorted out.

“Another outburst and everyone is leaving,” Judge Orville Reynolds warned the enraged crowd.

Prosecutors said the alleged predator, who was out on parole for a 2013 robbery conviction, grabbed the preteen in the lobby of her Cooper Houses building on Morgan Avenue near Jackson Street Thursday night, growling “I need you to come with me, or I’ll shoot you.”

McMichael – who was previously nabbed for a violent 2019 Staten Island rape – dragged the young girl into a stairwell and shoved her to the ground before committing the heinous sexual assault, prosecutors said.

“An eyewitness encountered them and saw the defendant with no pants on, and the complainant, who made an outcry for help,” Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Jordan Rossman said during the arraignment.

“The defendant fled. The eyewitness brought the complainant upstairs to her family’s apartment where her mother was, and the mother saw the child bleeding from her legs.”

Rossman said the distraught mother called the police and took her daughter to the hospital in stable condition.

McMichael was arrested Friday afternoon after his parole officer identified him in surveillance footage captured at a nearby laundromat.

Prosecutors said the violent suspect allegedly admitted to being in the lobby of the building following his arrest.

“He admitted to being in the lobby of the building, encountering a woman, talking to her, kissing her, hugging her, grabbing her, pushing her and refusing to let her go home until somebody came and saw what happened,” Rossman said.

He now faces four counts of first-degree rape, two counts of second-degree rape, second- and third-degree burglary – including as sexually motivated felonies – two counts of sexual misconduct, forcible touching, two counts of first-degree sexual abuse, second- and third-degree sexual abuse, second-degree criminal trespass, and endangering the welfare of a child.

McMichael was previously arrested on Oct. 22, 2019, after allegedly stealing a 29-year-old woman’s phone and raping her at knifepoint in an abandoned State Island building on Sept. 8, 2019, police and sources said.

The victim knew her attacker, who reportedly removed a door’s screws to break into a deserted structure.

McMichael, who lives in a homeless shelter on Clay Street, pleaded guilty to the rape and was ordered to undergo mental health treatment, the Staten Island Advance reported at the time.

Sources said he was busted again on Aug. 28, 2023, after allegedly pretending to brandish a gun to carjack a livery cab driver.

McMichael is being held without bail.

He is due back in court on Thursday.
