A convicted sex offender who allegedly threatened to “rape” a stranger on the street is back haunting the East Village.
Fritz Marseille spent two weeks cooling his heels at Rikers but the stint in jail did nothing to deter his apparent affinity for the neighborhood.
“We had two blissful weeks of peace and quiet and felt safe,” lamented Christine Rucci, who claims Marseille, 38, has repeatedly accosted her on the street.
Marseille was sentenced to five months in jail last year for allegedly groping two women, according to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office.
As part of his plea deal, Marseille needed to complete a counseling program or face jail time, prosecutors said.
And now that Marseille is free again to roam East Third Street and East Fifth Street along Second Avenue, he’s “more agitated” than ever.
“He needs drug and alcohol rehab and frankly some time for his crimes,” Rucci said. The DA and judges have to do better.”
Kristin Booth, 49, one of the women allegedly accosted by Marseille, isn’t convinced things will get any better.
“F–k Bragg!” said Booth, 49, who has logged five police complaints against Marseille since September 2020, and alleged he lurked behind her in June and said, “I’m going to f–king rape you.”
