An ex-con on lifetime parole for the rape and murder of a 10-year-old Queens girl was allowed to remain on the streets despite getting arrested again last year — and is now charged with another sexual assault, The Post has learned.
Charles Rowe, 56, was able to cash in on the state’s controversial “Less is More” act, which made it easier to keep him out of jail even after he was hit with a felony stolen car rap in December, according to law enforcement sources.

“Thanks to the governor’s ‘Less is More’ it is almost impossible to violate someone,” the source said. “Lowering the standards is responsible for one woman fighting off this monster and another woman being raped in two horrific crimes where both women were threatened to be killed.”
The statute, signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul in 2021 and enacted last year, allows parolees to avoid jail over a “technical violation” of their release conditions and, according to critics, also makes it tougher to put them back behind bars if they are accused of a new crime.

Rowe had earned his lifetime parole status after he was convicted of raping and killing little Vanessa Broughton inside her bedroom on Christmas Eve in 1987.
Rowe was a guest of the girl’s family at their Jamaica home when he was left alone with the youngster, then raped and repeatedly stabbed her to death — leaving her naked and blood-soaked body on her bed, where she was found by relatives at 1 a.m., according to news reports from the time.
He was convicted of murder and was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.
Rowe spent nearly 35 years behind bars before he was released from the upstate Sullivan County Correctional Facility on Jan. 19, 2022

Rowe must be a close friend of Bragg.
Good God!
Lotta men and women these days need a good ol-fashioned, disappearing.
So at what point in time....are we going to start hanging these people????
Amen.
The American people tolerated this weak system of pseudo justice and anyone harmed or killed after being kind to the felons is on their heads.
Those who are kind to the cruel
will in the end be cruel to the kind

“Less is more,” hmm? As in less punishment is more crime?
I really would prefer proper law enforcement to death squads, but I think we’re going to get death squads.
Too bad a 10-year old girl had to die because of stupid adults’ votes.
May God take that little girl into his arms.
And may we be strengthened in our resolve to be his workers for true justice on this earthly plane obeying his will.
Amen.
It has been mostly this way since Earl Warren, only is now just beyond berserk. Our system of justice is a flaming joke.
It is shameful that society's weakness and lack of integrity forces good people to do the work (with the tired cliche "he took the law into his own hands"====then get law enforcement working and get some new, stronger laws and punishments going if you don't like it).
What’s the odds on the raped women continuing to vote for Democrats?
Best put him on double secret probation.
Rapests should be disarmed first.
Should be dis-something or other if you get my drift.
