Infamous blind, convicted pervert quietly serving on a NYC community board under a different name
NY Post
An infamous convicted sex offender has been quietly serving on a Midtown Manhattan community board under a different name to shield his real identity, The Post has learned.
Community Board 5 member “Charles Ny” is really Charles Ghose, a blind man who was convicted of molesting a 15-year-old boy in Great Britain in 2005.
He’s still listed in the New York State Sex Offender Registry and has been on the Midtown board since last year.
As a member of the board, the convicted child molester attends meetings that are held in an all-boys high school, Xavier, and gets to weigh in on issues involving schools and youth services, as well as land use matters and liquor licenses.
His presence was only discovered after a tipster told The Post that “Ny’s” real name was Ghose — and he admitted his true identity when questioned.
Ghose, 42, — who first made headlines in the US in 2013 — portrayed himself as a victim when contacted by The Post.
