A New Jersey Postmaster has been indicted on a federal civil rights charge for the sexual assault of a U.S. Postal Service employee. According to the indictment, Gabriel Ekram Pagabe Ali, a 47-year-old Postmaster at the U.S. Post Office in Teaneck, New Jersey, sexually assaulted a victim while on duty on November 26, 2022.
The indictment charges Ali with two counts: depriving the victim of her right to bodily integrity when he sexually assaulted her, and forcibly assaulting the victim while she was engaged in official duties.
Count One of the indictment charges Ali with depriving the victim of her right to bodily integrity when he sexually assaulted the victim. Count Two of the indictment charges Ali with forcibly assaulting the victim while she was engaged in official duties.
If convicted, Ali faces a maximum penalty of three years in prison for the civil rights count and eight years in prison for the assault count. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General is investigating the case. Trial Attorneys Laura Gilson and Chloe Neely of the Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joseph Gribko and Javon Henry for the District of New Jersey are prosecuting the case.
An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
