Like other plaintiffs talked to by THE CITY, Baez said she never filed a formal complaint while she was locked up because she was “scared, alone, and I had no one.”

“I thought people would judge me and say I liked it,” she said, “and that’s why it kept happening.”

While she was in Rikers, she began to believe that’s what God intended to happen to her.

“I started to believe that this is part of my life,” she said, “to be raped and used like a sex slave.”

...at least 400 lawsuits against the city Department of Correction filed under New York State’s Adult Survivors Act, signed into law in May 2022. Similar to the Child Victims Act, the ASA gives alleged victims of sexual assault a window to seek monetary damages long after the statute of limitations for possible criminal charges expired.
