The son of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon is facing a felony rape charge for allegedly choking and beating a woman while molesting her, Manhattan prosecutors said.
Abraham Chabon, 20, was charged June 12 with second-degree strangulation and first-degree rape earlier in the alleged Jan. 25, 2024, attack, according to a felony complaint unsealed in court.
The younger Chabon, a student at NYU, made his second court appearance Wednesday after being arraigned on the charges last week.
He is accused of grabbing the victim by the neck, making it difficult for her to breathe, then carrying her to a bed where he raped her and “struck [the victim] repeatedly in the face … causing stupor and loss of vision in one eye,” the complaint said.
The alleged crime occurred on East 12th Street, prosecutors said.
“Abe is innocent and was as shocked by these false allegations as anyone,” Chabon’s lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, said in a statement.
“He has strong family support and a devoted partner who all believe in his innocence,” Chaudhry said. “We hope the prosecutors’ investigation reveals his innocence quickly. Meanwhile, we prepare to fiercely fight this false allegation and clear this gentle young man’s name.”
He arrived at the courthouse on Wednesday with his mother, Israeli-American novelist Ayelet Waldman.
His father is a noted American writer and Pulitzer Prize winner, whose works include “Moonglow,” “Wonder Boys,” The Mysteries of Pittsburgh” and “Telegraph Avenue.”

In a 2017 radio interview, Chabon spoke of Trump: "Every morning I wake up and in the seconds before I turn my phone on to see what the latest news is, I have this boundless sense of optimism and hope that this is the day that he's going to have a massive stroke, and, you know, be carted out of the White House on a gurney."
Pulitzer is a shyte organization. So be highly suspect of anyone who receives their garbage award.
A bunch of deep-state insiders handing out fake awards to each other
WaPo got one for their reporting on Trump “Russia-gate” which turned out to be complete lies.
“Every morning I wake up and in the seconds before I turn my phone on to see what the latest news is, I have this boundless sense of optimism and hope that this is the day that he’s going to have a massive stroke, and, you know, be carted out of the White House on a gurney.”
Well, here’s to hoping that his son has a massive, busy “love life” while in jail...
Very serious charges. If true, or even just mostly true, he has disgraced his family. He looks like a taller version of
Huma’s new man, Alex Soros. Just as Dweeby.
Where is that quote from, or is it some creative writing?
From the post I quoted.
Your argument is with Angelino97, not me.
Chabon hired “NYC’s Most Ruthless Defense Lawyer Priya Chaudhry”
The victim will be dragged through the mud in the tabloids.
Exactly so. And it isn’t new.
Think Walter Duranty of the New York Times and his reporting on The Holdomor back in the early Thirties that he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for in 1932.
Total bag-sucking, Communist-worshiping reporting that papered over the facts of millions of Ukrainians being deliberately starved as punishment by Stalin because they resisted collectivization.
The Pulitzer team never pulled the award. The filthy New York Times never rejected the award for their reporter who lied.
They have always been Leftists on the Pulitzer panel.
The quote is from Chabon’s Wiki page.
I really liked the Yiddish Policeman’s Union.
Ok. Thanks. No argument here. Just wondering. The statement was captivating reading. That’s all.
Based on his appearance, I would peg his son as a soy boy, not a rapist. Of course, that does not mean anything.
It looks like a she said, he said case. I don’t know why they don’t withhold both names until the case is over.
Vote for Pedro.
I bet he will be very popular in general population.
Innocent till proven guilty.....Sheesh!
I would trust a Mad Magazine award more than a Pulitzer, at this point.
