A Manhattan lawyer specializing in securities and commercial matters has been charged with committing a series of sexual attacks on New York City women that allegedly happened after he followed them into their apartment buildings and, in one instance, into a residential elevator.
Ra'Shaun Kelley—who has a Park Avenue office and whose Avvo online biography says he formerly worked in the general counsel, compliance and legal departments of J.P. Morgan and Credit Suisse—allegedly pushed one victim into the lobby of her building, put his hand over her mouth, put his other hand down the front of her pants and tried to touch her private area before pulling down her leggings, according to a criminal complaint.
In a separate instance described by another unnamed informant in the complaint, Kelley allegedly followed the woman into her building and then an elevator, where he pressed himself against her, tried to forcibly kiss her and began to touch her all over her body, the complaint provided by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office stated.
