CBS New York November 13, 2021 There are new details about the convicted sex offender who police say tried to rape a jogger on a footpath to Randall's Island on Friday. It was at the footbridge at 103rd Street near the East River that convicted sex offender Howard Shaw struck, allegedly attacking a 54-year-old jogger in broad daylight. Court papers obtained by CBS2 political reporter Marcia Kramer say Shaw, who is charged with attempted rape, strangulation and sexual abuse, told the woman, "I don't want to hurt you, I just want sex," even as he was choking her, causing her to "become lightheaded and begin to lose consciousness."
