25 YEAR OLD BRONX MAN SENTENCED TO TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN
PRISON FOR THE GUNPOINT ABDUCTION AND SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A 20 YEAR
OLD WOMAN

Bronx District Attorney Robert T. Johnson announced today that Rohan Campbell has
been sentenced to a term of twenty-five years imprisonment for abducting a young woman at
gunpoint and sexually assaulting her in August 2004.

Campbell, 20, of 712 East Gunhill Road, was found guilty in October 2006, on two
counts of Criminal Sexual Act in the 1st degree and was sentenced to terms of 12 and a half years
imprisonment on each count. State Supreme Court Justice David Stadtmauer ordered that the
sentences run consecutive to each other for a total term of twenty-five years incarceration.

Campbell committed the sexual assaults on August 10, 2004 beginning at approximately
2:40 A.M. in the Williamsbridge section on the Bronx when he accosted his victim and her
boyfriend in the vicinity of 216th Street and Bronxwood Avenue. The young woman was being
escorted home when the defendant forced her at gunpoint to accompany him to a parked car. The
woman’s boyfriend was told that she would be shot if he moved. Campbell drove off with the
victim and forced her to engage in oral sex twice during a period of ninety minutes. The second
sexual encounter occurred at the initial location of the abduction where Campbell returned after
driving around. Police, who had been alerted by the victim’s boyfriend, stopped to investigate
when they noticed the car parked at an unusual angle. When they shined a flashlight into the car
they realized that the defendant and the young woman matched the descriptions that had been
provided by the boyfriend. Campbell turned on the ignition and attempted to flee but was taken
into custody after a short foot chase that began after he crashed into a parked car a couple of
blocks away.

Assistant District Attorney Aaron Kaplan prosecuted the case.
