Woman arrested in murder of boyfriend’s father: NYPD
\n<\/h2>\n
The woman who allegedly stabbed her boyfriend\u2019s adoptive father to death in Manhattan this week claimed she did it because the older man raped her, according to a criminal complaint.<\/p>\n
Cassandra Carter, 27, was arrested and charged in connection to the death of Jerry Fox, 71, who was found around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday inside the second-floor apartment on Seaman Avenue near West 207th Street in Inwood, cops said.<\/p>\n
Responding authorities found a fire escape ladder pulled down, and spotted Carter as she started to walk away, prosecutors said. When a sergeant called out to her, she sped up, but then stopped.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe guy in the apartment raped me,” she told the sergeant, according to the complaint. “I did what I had to do. I think he\u2019s dead. I cut him and he cut me. I sprayed him with roach spray. He\u2019s in the apartment where I left him.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t immediately clear whether there is any corroboration of the rape claim.<\/p>\n
Questioned about Carter\u2019s statement, the NYPD said that it \u201ctakes sexual assault and rape cases extremely seriously, and urges anyone who has been a victim to file a police report so we can perform a comprehensive investigation, and offer support and services to survivors.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter gave the sergeant the key to their apartment, where authorities found Fox unconscious on the floor, in a pool of blood, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
He had numerous slash and puncture wounds to several parts of his body, including his neck, torso, legs, and hands, prosecutors said. He was pronounced dead on scene.<\/p>\n
Neighbors told The Post on Wednesday that the relationship between Fox and the couple was contentious, and that there were domestic scuffles in the past.<\/p>\n

Carter was arraigned Thursday afternoon on a second-degree murder charge and ordered held without bail, according to the Manhattan DA’s Office. Her next court appearance is on Monday.<\/p>\n
