Brute who maimed ex’s legs with NYC subway shove should still be in jail for 2017 stabbing of mom, daughter, says victim
NY Post
The creep accused of shoving an ex onto Manhattan subway tracks over the weekend should never have been freed from prison, a previous victim railed to The Post on Monday.
Jenny Aquino said she’s still haunted by the day Christian Valdez burst into her apartment “like a demon” in 2017 and viciously stabbed her and her 4-year-old daughter — and can’t understand why the paroled Valdez was free to unleash the Lower Manhattan subway station attack on Saturday that left the victim maimed.
“I still have PTSD and my daughter still has nightmares,” Aquino, 43, told The Post of Valdez, who now uses they/them pronouns, according to prosecutors. “I think he should be in jail forever. He needs to be somewhere put in and not come out.
“He’s a danger to society and I think he should be put in jail for a long time because he’s a danger to society,” she said. “They shouldn’t have even let him go out in the first place.”
Aquino said she met Valdez, 35, around her South Bronx apartment building and urged them to go to church with her — never suspecting Valdez was mentally unstable.
On Sept. 13, 2017, she had just returned to her third-floor apartment after church with her daughter, Bella Perez, when the nightmare unfolded.
