SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 2 –
When Wolfe Margolies came up
for sentencing on December 2
after pleading guilty to
narcotics and child
pornography charges, his
lyrics including being a
rapist who beats cases were
quoted by Judge Kimba M. Wood
of the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York.
Judge Wood sentenced Margolies
to 168 months or 14 years in
prison, to be followed by five
years of supervised release.
She quoted the lyrics from the
pre-sentencing report which is
not part of the public docket.
While Assistant US Attorney
Mollie Bracewell quoted
another lyric in her
sentencing submission, the
rapist-beating-cases lyric was
not quoted there.
On the narcotics conspiracy,
Margolies worked with Erik
Erkan, who has managed to get
into the SDNY's Young Adult
Offender Program.
Bracewell's sentencing
submission, perhaps sensing
the disparity argument
Margolies' attorney Maurice
Sercarz could make, argues
that "there are substantial
differences between these
defendants," that is, the
government is not aware that
Erkan had any involvement with
the child pornography offense
to which Margolies pled
guilty.
Margolies will also, upon his
release, be required to
register as a sex offender. In
his sentencing proceeding, at
which Inner City Press was the
only media present, Margolies
said that when arrested in
Louisiana in February of this
year he was in a coding boot
camp, and that he wants to
continue to pursue that as a
profession when he gets out.
He flashed a sheaf of
certificates at Judge Wood.
But the lyrics seemed to carry
weight. Inner City Press will
have more on this. The case is
US v. Margolies, 19-cr-178
(Wood).
