A Bronx man who was recently released from prison was arrested and charged with raping a 15-year-old girl. Authorities said it happened inside of the apartment building at 140 Bellamy Loop in Co-op City on Thursday. Casmine Aska, 29, was walked out of the 45th Precinct in handcuffs on Saturday.

Records show Aska was released from prison on Jan. 30 after he was convicted of attempted murder. In 2013, Aska was 17 years old when he threw a 9-year-old boy from the roof of a five-story apartment building in Morris Heights, leaving the boy badly injured. Aska still lives in that same Nelson Avenue building, according to neighbors on Sunday night. An unidentified man from behind Aska’s closed apartment door told News 12 Aska should’ve been home and had no business being in Co-Op City, which is located 20 minutes away. Co-op City residents said they’re shocked over the arrest. “This is an atrocity to happen here in a place like Co-op City, which is supposed to be a safe place. A safe community,” said Lynne Johnson. “People like that should not be eligible to be out at all,” said Sarah Ruiz, who has three daughters between the ages of 10 and 24. “I hope that this time they lock him up and they throw away the key.” Aska is charged with first-degree rape. If convicted, he could face up to 25 years in prison.
