Da: Valley Stream -Mann, who was condemned for a role in “sadistic” crime

A Valley stream man was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Wednesday because he attracted victims for sex and then kidnapped, attacked and robbed, including one in prostitution, another with a curling rod and threatened a third party with mutilation, said the prosecutors.

The 25-year-old Gil Iphana previously owed to several crimes related to the three incidents over a period of two months in 2022.

“This accused took part in a sadistic monthly crime stroll, frightened his victims and forced one of them to prostitution,” said Melinda Katz, district prosecutor of Queens in a statement. “The woman was held against her will and forced to have sex with strangers for money. Two men who were lured for sex in different places were beaten and threatened. Iphana even warned his victims that their families would be killed their families if they told someone.

Iphana's lawyer did not immediately answer a message that was looking for a comment on Wednesday.

In February he was guilty of promoting two cases of kidnapping second degree, two cases of the first degree overflow and a second degree's number of prostitution.

The judge of the Supreme Court, Peter Vallone, also condemned Iphana five years after the publication on Wednesday.

Iphael's co -accused, Destiny Lebron, said in 2023 and was sentenced to 13 years in prison.

The crime started on July 30, 2022, when Iphana and LeBron wanted to pick up a woman, with whom LeBron had exchanged sexually charged messages and photos on Instagram.

The two also had “prostitution -related discussions,” said the public prosecutor.

“Iphana and LeBron brought the woman to the Quality Inn Hotel in the 153-95 Rockaway BLVD., where the woman was informed that they would help Iphana and LeBron Rob-victims who were lured by LeBron there to deal with prostitution as a woman.

Iphana and LeBron “beat and threaten them” when they refused to prostitute herself, the prosecutors said. “You forced you to take photos of yourself and use photos on your phone for online prostitution ads,” says the press release. “That evening several customers appeared in the hotel and the victim carried out sex acts with the men. Iphana and Lebron kept all the money from the customers.”

The victim escaped on July 31, when the accused left them alone in the hotel room, the prosecutors said.

About a week later, Lebron threw bleach in the fifties, which had responded to an advertisement that sold sex with her picture, said the prosecutors.

“Iphana and LeBron held back the man and continued to attack him for a few hours,” says the press release. “Iphana reached into a pocket and threatened to kill the victim, which the victim believed that Iphana had a weapon. The accused then took the car keys, the phone and wallet of the man. When the victim refused to lock up his phone, LeBron burned him with a curling rod until he complied with.”

Iphana and LeBron stole the victim's car and made several ATMs withdrawals from his bank account.

“The accused broke one of the men's toes and repeatedly threatened to kill the man's family when he contacted the police,” says the press release.

More than a week later, Iphana and LeBron defeated another man who was in the 20s and answered an online display for prostitution with a photo of LeBron, the prosecutors said. The accused also tried to cut one of his toes and threatened him with mutilation, the prosecutors said.

The couple kept a pillow over his face and continued to attack him, said the prosecutors and also pulled money back from his account at a nearby ATM and stole his wallet, his debit card and his driver's license, said the prosecutors.

“The defendants repeatedly threatened to kill the victim's family when he reported the crime of the police,” said the press release.
