“We urge survivors and anyone with knowledge of these allegations to contact our Special Victims Division,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office said in a statement Saturday, NBC4 reported. “Our specially trained prosecutors, investigators, and counselors are well-equipped to help you in a trauma-informed, survivor-centered manner.”
