this year was sentenced to over 17 years in jail in connection with the hate crime attack, officials announced Tuesday.
In the brutal assault, Esco called the woman, who is of Filipino descent, an “Asian b----,” and she was left with bleeding on her brain and multiple facial fractures.“This is a case that has traumatized not only the victim and her family, but also her neighbors in the city of Yonkers, the broader Westchester community and the broader Asian American and Pacific Islander community really across the country,” Rocah said.
The woman was walking into her apartment building on Riverdale Avenue in Yonkers on March 11 when Esco, who lived in the building and was outside in front, yelled at her, calling her a racial slur, Rocah said. “We appreciate the love and support of the community and the many people who were outraged by this hateful attack.
