There were 449 crimes categorized as "other" sex crimes in New York City in the last four weeks ending July 20, 2024 compared to 433 in the same period the year before, according to New York Police Department (NYPD) crime statistics.

This equals 16 incidents per day, up 3.7% from the previous four-week period last year.

Crimes categorized as "other" sex crimes include any sex crime that does not fall under the definition of rape. This encompasses a range of offenses such as sexual assault, indecent exposure, and sexual harassment. Understanding and categorizing these separately from rape is crucial for legal precision and appropriate response.

The NYPD has grappled with 2,972 crimes categorized as "other" sex crimes so far in 2024.

New York City's crime continues to plummet, with major crimes down 4.1% year-over-year through November 2023. Shootings have plunged 18.8% compared to last year, while murders have dropped by a promising 10.9%.

Arrests in NYC have jumped almost 20%, with a significant 12% increase specifically for major crimes.

Still, Police Commissioner Keechant L. Sewell stated that “felony assaults and grand larceny autos remain persistent issues.”
