The known thug, Carl Phanor, 29, appeared before Judge Jonathan Svetkey and is facing an initial charge of first-degree rape and two counts of predatory sexual assault and strangulation. There are also other charges but these are the heavies. He was led into the courtroom just before 2:45 p.m. Friday, wearing a light gray hoodie sweatshirt, sweatpants and handcuffs. Except for the latter accoutrement, he appeared to get his fashion sense from John Fetterman. He tended to sway as he stood in front of the judge.
He did not enter a plea during the appearance, when Svetkey ordered him to be held without bail and to undergo a mental health assessment before his next court date on Nov. 9.
Meanwhile, the victim of Thursday's attack is being treated for bone fractures.
Prosecutors said that Phanor goes by several aliases and has demonstrated a "clear predatory pattern."
Phanor, who police said is homeless, is being represented by a court-appointed attorney. The defense attorney asked for bail to be set, and told the court that Phanor had been abandoned by his parents and needs mental health assistance. So he's the victim, not the 43-year-old jogger he allegedly injured and raped.
The suspect was taken into custody only hours after his most recent alleged attack on Thursday.
He then ran off, but not before grabbing the victim's debit card, wallet, cellphone and headphones, police said.
The victim was able to get the attention of another jogger, who called the police. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment and evaluation.
Gabrielle Sumkin, who identified herself as the passerby who called police, told the New York Post she had spotted the woman with torn, dirty-looking clothes and no shoes.
"She was just wearing one sock," Sumkin told the Post, adding that the woman was holding her eye. "This woman seemed like she was legitimately very hurt, and it was clear that something had happened to her."
Sumkin reportedly recalled the woman saying, "I need help."
Police said later on the same day of the incident that Phanor was also wanted for two prior incidents: one from October and another from March.

The jogger had been running along a path near West Street and Pier 45 around 5:30 a.m. Thursday when Phanor approached her from behind, according to the New York Police Department.
The man grabbed her and began choking her, causing her to partially lose consciousness, police said. He allegedly knocked her to the pavement, then took off her clothes and raped her.

Police said later on the same day of the incident that Phanor was also wanted for two prior incidents: one from October and another from March.
A 48-year-old woman had been walking along the FDR Drive service road, near East 37th Street in Manhattan, around 5 a.m. on Oct. 6 when Phanor allegedly approached her from behind and choked her, police said.
He then ripped her pants as he tried to rape her, but the woman fought back, police said. Phanor allegedly stole her wallet and cell phone before he fled the scene on a bicycle.

Police said he later tried using the victim’s credit card at a nearby smoke shop.
And months earlier, on March 27, a 39-year-old woman had been jogging in the area of Pier 40, just blocks away from the scene of the November attack, when Phanor approached her on a bike, cops said.
Phanor allegedly "pushed the victim to the ground and began to choke the victim," the NYPD said.
He then sexually assaulted her and stole her cell phone before fleeing on the bicycle, police said.
In all, Phanor was charged with first-degree rape, two counts each of predatory sexual assault, two counts of strangulation, two counts of robbery and a single count of a first-degree criminal sex act, court records show.
The alleged serial sex criminal reportedly has had 25 prior arrests and under Kathy Hochul's governorship and Eric Adams' mayoralty, this monster was still out on the street victimizing female New Yorkers who will probably vote for them on Tuesday.
