Jose Reyes was arrested less than 24 hours after attempting to rape a woman on a subway platform. @NYPDSVU Detectives worked tirelessly to find him while the elected officials who say there’s a slow down were tucked tightly in their beds.

Reyes has 14 prior arrests.
Correction: Jose Reyes is being held on $75k bail. Yes, just 75k with 14 prior arrest. Also with the new Bail Law, it forces the prosecution to furnish the addresses of witnesses and victims to the defense. Jose Reyes will now know where this victim lives! 😡 https://t.co/wTLdWjnCd4
