NYPD
Confirms
to ICP Arrest
of UN Staffer
Joshi for Sex
Abuse in Keats
By

UNITED
NATIONS,
June 13 --
Since February
22, Inner
City Press has
covered the
sexual abuse
complaint of a
female UN
contractor
against a UN
staffer. The
UN delayed its
review, and
Ban Ki-moon's
spokespeople
denied
question after
question by
Inner City
Press.
But
on June 12
Inner City
Press was
reliably
informed that
the abuser,
whose name we
knew
throughout,
was called
into the 17th
Precinct on
51st Street to
surrender to
police, with
his lawyer.
Inner City
Press went and
staked it out,
in the rain.
Later, Inner
City Press
obtained the
file number:
2011-017-3670.
And
now, NYPD
spokesman Lt.
John Grimpel
told Inner
City Press
that yes, he
was
arrested on
June 12 for a
complaint
filed in
October 2011
of sex
abuse in the
Keats bar at
842 Second
Avenue. And
now, after
having
withheld the
name since we
first reported
on this case
on February
22, 2012, we
run his name:
Dushyant
Joshi, the
head of the
UN's
Emergency
Preparedness
unit.
Back
in
on February 22
when Inner
City Press
went to the
UN-rented
building at
380 Madison
Avenue to see
if alleged war
criminal Sri
Lanka general
Shavendra
Silva attended
Ban Ki-moon's
Senior
Advisory
Group on
Peacekeeping
Operations, it
witnessed the
NY Police
Department
being barred
from entering
the building
to arrest a UN
staffer.
While
Ban's
spokesperson's
office on
March 1 and
thereafter
denied that
the NYPD
was at 380
Madison to
arrest any UN
staffer, based
on a case of
abuse
filed by a
female UN
contractor,
this was
multiply
confirmed to
Inner
City Press.

Now
the UN's
Office of
Human
Resources
Management
under
Catherine
Pollard has
belatedly
"found cause"
in the female
contractor's
complaint, and
has (merely)
demoted the
abuser from P5
to P4 level,
but with the
same job: head
of the UN's
Emergency
Preparedness
unit. As
we tweeted
at the time,
hat tip and
credit "Update
to
months of #UN
stonewalling
about
380Madison,
where
#BanKiMoon's
minders want
no Press

have more on
