SDNY COURT
Exclusive, Feb 1 –
A United
Nations budget
expert in New
York drugged
and raped a
woman; a
default
judgment was
awarded
against him on
February 1,
2023 in the
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New York.
Inner City
Press, which
has been
banned from
the UN for
asking about
its sexual
abuses, was
there in
court.
But
the defendant,
Mutaz Hyassat,
was not. Nor
was anyone
from the
United
Nations, on
whose Advisory
Committee on
Administrative
and Budgetary
Questions
Hyassat served
at the time of
the rape, nor
from the UN
missions of
Jordan nor of
the United
States.
The victim
worked for the
US Treasury
Department at
the time of
the rape.
Hyassat
lured her to
El Rio Grande
restaurant at
160 E. 38th
Street where
he plied her
with a pink
drink with GHB
in it.
Hyassat
raped her
overnight. He
continues to
work for the
Jordanian
foreign
ministry, as
chief of legal
administration,
it was said on
February
1. Doe was
present in the
courtroom.
Hyassat
refused to
ever answer
the rape
charges
against him.
But on
February 1
Judge Paul G.
Gardephe found
that Hyassat's
immunity as an
ACABQ member
was only
functional, in
connection
with this
work. Despite
the pervasive
corruption of
the UN under
SG Antonio
Guterres, rape
is still not
part of
ACABQ's
work.
Judge Gardephe
granted and
entered a
default
judgment and
referred it
for a
Magistrates'
inquest on
damages.
Plaintiff
Jane Doe is
seeking $1.25
million. UN
Spokesperson
Stephane
Dujarric, and
USG Melissa
Fleming whose
department
keeps Inner
City Press
banned from
entering the
UN to ask,
refuse to
answer written
questions.
The case is
Doe v.
Hyassat,
18-cv-6110
(Gardephe)
