A 21-year-old rapper is making headlines this week and it’s not for his music. New York hip-hop artist Moise Morancy recently came to a teenage girl’s rescue after a man allegedly sexually assaulted her aboard a bus.
Footage has surfaced and shows the Brooklyn entertainer defending a 15-year-old girl from being further groped before police entered the scene.
“Don’t you ever do that s–t again, you hear me?” Morancy said in the video. “He was touching a little girl, and then I defended her,” Morancy told cops in the video. Police handcuffed both Morancy and the girl’s alleged assaulter, Pablo Levano, 36, before releasing Morancy from his handcuffs. “I was really just defending that 15-year-old girl. He was touching her leg. He lunged at me and said he wanted to hurt me,” Morancy can be heard saying in the video. (NY Daily News)

Last week, Morancy reflected on his actions and the aftermath.

It's sad that rape is the most under-reported crime. All men should protect women. The convo needs to be had & justice needs to be served.
