'I sleep with one eye open': Woman, 37, who was 'raped by pizza delivery boy, 16, as her daughter slept beside her' opens up about the horrific attack she says ruined her life
A woman who was attacked and raped in her Manhattan apartment in 2012 has come forward to detail the horrific night a teenage pizza boy allegedly assaulted her as her 7-year-old daughter slept in the bed beside her. Kia Graves, 37, reveals that her life has been utterly turned upside down since the night Cesar Lucas, 17, is charged with slipping into her apartment and having his way with her while out on a run for his father's 10th Avenue pizza restaurant. 'I have nightmares thinking that he’s getting out of jail, and I wake up all the time making sure my door is locked,' said the shell-shocked mom. Unfortunately, her door was not locked that September night. Cesar Lucas was working as a delivery boy at Sal’s Pizza in the same Manhattan neighborhood as the woman’s luxury apartment building. He was delivering a pizza to the next-door flat when he noticed that the door was slightly ajar and allegedly entered the apartment. Graves, a former actress turned model agency employee, had gone to bed with her daughter an hour and a half before the alleged incident. It was the last time Grave says she's had a normal night's sleep. 'I sleep with one eye open, basically,' she told the New York Daily News. 'I have panic attacks and I wake up in sweats.' Graves no longer works and lives each day crippled by her memories of the attack. 'I don’t know what to do,' she said. 'I’m just seeing my doctor and hoping for the best.'

Where was dad?
Don’t joke like that. And who leaves their door open, especially in New York City?
He broke into an apartment before? Why was he still delivering pizzas?
Sadly, it’s not obvious who’s joking.
get a medium to large dog. take akido. get a few weapons and an alarm.
oh... and to do this, you’ll have to move out of NYC... since they want you defenseless... so you’ll vote for more police protection (ie: bigger govt). not that more cops would help
Stories like these might be different if the victim had a gun. I wouldn’t let that scum out of my apartment alive, or at least without a major wound.
NYC, no guns allowed.
Too bad she didn’t have a knife under her pillow.
The Dems want this kind of behavior so that they can push more bills to control us. That includes disarming us in case you haven’t noticed.
Yet “Stop and Frisk” is called “racist”
FUDNC & FUBO
Personally, I believe this country is gone and it won’t be back in my lifetime, thus I will be moving overseas when I turn 62
Or I can stay and circle the drain with the rest of the US
So where will you be when we need you for the reset? How many ran away before July 4, 1776? It is true we are powerless to make the necessary changes before the coming upheaval, but we will need all hands on deck after it to refocus a revitalization of adherence to the Constitution.
Where was his dad?
Ol’ Cesar there needs his sack amputated....knowing NY that rapist will end up on the streets soon to rape again
And who lives in a luxurious apt. building but doesn’t have a doorman? I don’t understand the unlocked door, either. Most Manhattan “luxurious” doors automatically lock as soon as the door closes. And most of them are designed to close hard with a bang. This is not to be negative towards the poor woman - only the Daily Mail’s lousy reporting.
“Yes, things have changed. White Anglo-Saxon men are not exclusively running the country anymore,” he (SCHUMER) said Thursday.
I have a hard feeling sorry for liberal New Yorkers.. when they get ASSAULTED..
They pretty much deserve it.. but the good part is..
They are getting PUNISHED by Obama... and minions..
The thugg has come home to roost..
unfortunately everyone else is as well.. that despise the cretin..
I would recommend hapkido over akido, they’re similar, but hapkido is violence before compassion heh.
What are you talking about? Honestly, I have no idea. I’m talking about the use of the word “luxury” primarily. I want more details about the apartment building. Was it a doorman building? Was the door really ajar? Why was a pizza delivery man allowed to roam the halls of a luxury apartment building? As a NYer, a detail like that tells me something.
This story smells to high Heaven.
Maybe he was trying door knobs and found one that was open.
Either way, this poor woman is going to live her life in fear. Best thing for her to do is move far away and try to rebuild.
As for the perp, he should hang.
If I planned to engage in a life of crime, I would be in New York City before noon time.
