Eva Lin’s Attacker sentenced to 25 yrs in New York.

Preface : Fans of transgender erotica and who follow the adult news may have been aware that Eva Lin, Xbiz Winner and well known adult pornstar was assaulted and robbed in early 2013. Eva was very brave in publicizing her attack almost immediately and the social networks of fans, spread the details and photos of the suspects, which may have aided in their arrests. Throughout the ordeal, Eva continued to praise the NYC prosecutors office and NYPD for their understanding and diligence. She has fully recovered and resumed work.

Eva posted this to Facebook earlier today;

“I am so emotional but happy at the same time for my battle against Damique Fennel is over and I am victorious. So many people like Fennel are out there and they prey on people who they feel are weaker. We must not be afraid and stand our ground. So sad to say that not all of my brothers and sisters are able to get justice. But this time victory is ours. I am thankful to the city of New York for being there for me and apprehending all of my attackers.” – Eva Lin.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A man who beat and robbed a transgender prostitute in a Manhattan hotel room was sentenced Tuesday to 25 years behind bars.

Damique Fennell, 23, was convicted last month of the sexually motivated attack of the 27-year-old woman at a Midtown Holiday Inn in February 2013, WCBS 880’s Irene Cornell reported.

The crime was not taken lightly by Judge Gregory Carro, who sentenced Fennell to the kind of time usually reserved for murder.

In Manhattan Supreme Court, the judge said Fennell was motivated not just by taking money but by his own perverse sexual gratification and desire to denigrate and humiliate the victim.

In asking for the harsh sentence, the prosecutor described Fennell as the leader of a pack of vicious predators — four men who used a gun, abused and taunted the victim and tried to strangle her with her own clothing. They arranged the meeting at the hotel with the woman, who advertised her escort services online.

“All too often, we see defendants preying on individuals they believe to be weak,” District Attorney Cy Vance said in a news release. “The survivor in this case showed true strength in the face of a brutal and relentless attack, and I thank her for her courage and willingness to come forward and testify at trial. Several decades ago, a case like this one may not have gone to trial, but today’s sentencing and the convictions of these defendants represent a significant step towards obtaining justice for all crime victims, regardless of background.”

The other three men pleaded guilty to burglary and received sentences of 10 to 13 years.

They also stole the victim’s laptop, cellphones and nearly $1,000 in cash before leaving her tied up in the hotel room, prosecutors said.

It was not considered a hate crime because all four men dated people from the transgender community, the prosecutor noted.

  1. There are a lot of sexually frustrated creeps walking the streets. They seem to take their anger out on people that are more successful and would not have anything to do with them socially in the normal course of their lives. You see it a lot in clubs where attractive people are usually verbally abused by losers, or when attractive people are strolling down the street only to be hassled by these same class of people. I am not a particular fan of Eva or her work etc. but she shouldn’t have to put up with this treatment or turn the other cheek (no pun intended). Glad these losers got lengthy sentences, however, it will unfortuneatly will not deter other losers with personal loser issues from striking out.

  2. One other thought. Young black males are much more aggressive and have much larger chips on their shoulders than other races. It isn’t racist, it is a fact that can be witnessed every day in every major city in the USA. Our prisons are full of these people, muggings, shootings, stabbings, rapes, drug offences etc. seem to be dominated by these people. The usual story is that they are brought up in poverty, single parent families, didn’t do well in school etc. some even talk about slavery in the past etc. Truth is, it doesn’t matter where in the world you look, Sweden, Norway, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, it is always the same community. No wonder many women want nothing to do with them, except for 3rd rate personalities (Kardashians are an example) who seem to find black men who look like 1980s Times Square pimps attractive. But then they look like whores.
