NYPD arrests suspect in mugging of 101-year-old woman
NEW YORK (AP) — She was brutally mugged in a crime that outraged New Yorkers, but the 101-year-old victim said the attack hasn't intimidated her.
"I'm not fearful at all," Rose Morat said Friday as police made an arrest in the case. "Whatever is going to happen is going to happen."
Jack Rhodes, 44, was arrested on charges of robbery, grand larceny, burglary and assault, police said. They did not have an address for Rhodes, who was also accused of robbing an 85-year-old woman the same day Morat was attacked, police said.
Police began questioning Rhodes after noticing he matched a photo of a person wanted for questioning in robberies of women in Queens. He was initially held on a charge of possession of a crack pipe.
There was no telephone listing for Rhodes in the New York metropolitan area, and police did not know whether he was represented by a lawyer.
"If it's the right man, it's wonderful," Morat told The Associated Press when reached Friday by phone.
Morat's March 4 holdup was captured on a surveillance tape. It shows Morat, who was using a walker, trying to leave her apartment building to go to church.
The mugger, who looms over her and is holding onto a bicycle, pretends to help her get through the vestibule. Then he turns to grab Morat's head, delivers three hard punches to her face and swipes her purse. The dazed victim tries to reach for her purse when the mugger hits her again, pushing her and her walker to the ground.
He got away with $33 and Morat's house keys. She suffered a fractured cheekbone and spent time in the hospital.
Morat told the AP on Friday that she's feeling better, though her doctor has told her to try to slow down.
She previously declared that if she'd been just a bit younger, she'd have gone after the guy.
The Glenridge senior center in Ridgewood, Queens, fielded a flurry of calls after the crime and said it was bringing back self-defense courses for the elderly.
The NYPD assigned dozens of detectives to the case and showed the surveillance video to every uniformed officer in the city.
The state Senate's Republican majority proposed tougher penalties for assaulting an elderly person. The bill, offered by Sen. Martin Golden of Brooklyn, would make a felony of assaulting anyone more than 70 years old. Currently, the crime is a misdemeanor, punishable by no more than a year in jail.

Rose Morat, 101, was punched in the face by the ex-con back in March of this year.
Jack Rhodes, left, was charged with the savage beatings of two elderly Queens women.

“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

lol i think it was a combo of the fact that shes tough and hes a bitch.
The man is human garbage. The world would be a better place if he was castrated and then stabbed to death with a rusty butter knife.

It's not only that he robbed the lady; he felt he needed to punch her in the face to rob her. Like he couldn't just steal the fuckin purse without force. In a pefect world we'd throw the offender in a room with a Mike Tyson like puncher twice his size and let him go to school. That would be retribution![]()

Granny mugger gets locked in private cell to prevent attacks from prisoners

The heartless ex-con charged with beating two elderly Queens women - including 101-year-old Rose Morat - isn't tough enough to stand up to someone his own size, law enforcement sources said yesterday.
Cops were forced to lock Jack Rhodes, 44, in a private cell at the 109th Precinct stationhouse yesterday because they feared several prisoners in a courthouse holding pen would pummel him, the sources said.
"It's a precautionary thing," a law enforcement source said. "His face has been in the news, and there are probably a lot of people who would like to take a pop at him."
The 200-pound homeless man was arraigned yesterday on charges of robbery as a hate crime along with assault, burglary and grand larceny for allegedly mugging Morat and Solange Elizee, 85, on March 4. Authorities said Rhodes targeted the women because of their age, a violation of the New York State Hate Crimes Act of 2000. He was ordered held without bail.
"My life is over," Rhodes told cops after his arrest Friday, according to prosecutors. "I'm sorry anyone got hurt."
Police said the career criminal, who has been arrested twice for burglarizing churches, preyed on the Queens women after attempting to steal tools from a building on Devonshire Road in Jamaica Hills.
"He looked very suspicious," said Rolando Monterroso, 53, a porter at the building. "I had never seen him before."
Monterroso said he alerted the building super, who chased Rhodes off. Cops said the thug then pedaled a pink bike to Morat's building in Jamaica Estates.
As she tried to steady herself with a walker, he punched her in the head and swiped $33 from her bag, police said.
A surveillance video of the attack disgusted New Yorkers, who flooded an NYPD hotline with tips. Many callers volunteered "exactly what they want to do to this guy," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said at the time.
About 30 minutes after attacking Morat, Rhodes mugged Elizee, ripping her wedding ring from her hand, cops said.
A police source said witnesses saw Rhodes at the homes of the elderly women before the attacks. The source said the witnesses will be important during a criminal trial because the elderly women may not be able to identify the suspect.
Rhodes has 14 prior arrests, including several drug busts. He has been busted for swiping money from a Brooklyn church and stealing an electric piano from a house of worship in Queens.
Along with the attacks on Morat and Elizee, he is facing robbery charges in the Dec. 30 ambush of Angela Khan, 51, in Jamaica Estates, police said.
Khan picked Rhodes from a photo array after recognizing him from video of the Morat beating.
Rhodes, who was nabbed in Brooklyn Friday after allegedly breaking into a car, now faces up to 25 years in prison.
"The savagery and violence of the defendant's alleged cowardly actions have no place in a civilized society," said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.

Can you believe they let this piece of shit go into protective custody?
They should have let him go to general population and get what he deserves.



they should kill this guy and 75 to 80% of the rest of the prison population. this shit won't change until someone has the balls to fight for extermination of people like him.
