Fifty-three-year-old Theresa Klein aka “Cornerstore Caroline” said she was sexually assaulted by a 9-year-old Black boy due to him unknowingly brushing his backpack against her as he, his mother and his little sister were exiting the bodega in Flatbush, Brooklyn... Sexually. Assaulted... In this phone video, you can see and hear the little boy and his sister bawling and screaming for their mom’s protection as that lying ass bitch describes the “incident” to a 911 operator. The kids are traumatized.
From The New York Times:
The public shaming of people who behave boorishly or spout racist views has become a feature of modern life in New York City, where nearly every person has a cellphone and residents are not shy about confronting one another, often in colorful language.
Last year, a lawyer who threatened to call the immigration authorities on Spanish-speaking employees at a lunch counter made a public apology after a video of his rant was posted online and complaints were made to state court officials.
Ms. Klein, 53, returned to the store on Friday afternoon to buy cigarettes and to face her neighbors, who heckled her as she gave her version of events to journalists. Then, prompted by a reporter, Ms. Klein went inside the store and watched a playback of the bodega’s security camera footage from Wednesday evening.
Onlookers crammed inside the bodega’s doorway to watch the screening, their phone cameras pointed toward Ms. Klein. Playing on a ceiling-mounted flat-screen television, the video showed the child turning to someone behind him and his backpack brushing Ms. Klein’s backside as she leaned over the counter.
Speaking into a television reporter’s camera afterward, Ms. Klein made an apology. “Young man,” she said, “I don’t know your name but I’m sorry.”
Still, Ms. Klein denied she acted out of bigotry toward the boy or that she harbored racist feelings. She said she was willing to meet with the mother to talk out their differences, but complained that the mother had reacted aggressively when she said the boy had touched her.
“A woman charged at me and flashed a badge and said that she would arrest me,” she said, “and I called 911.”
The outrage escalated after the surveillance video from the bodega was posted online, showing that the boy, dressed in a school uniform and carrying a large book bag, did not appear to touch Ms. Klein.
“The little kid thought he was going to go to jail for something he didn’t do,” said Jason Littlejohn, 37, a lifelong Flatbush resident who recorded the commotion on Wednesday outside of the Sahara Deli Market on Albemarle Road. “I thought it was someone calling police for unnecessary reasons, especially on a child.”
