Son of Pulitzer-winning novelist Michael Chabon charged with rape
New York Post ^ | June 18, 2025 | Steven Hirsch, Kyle Schnitzer, Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

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.”

I read his fictionalized novel about Siegel and Shuster (it was about superhero comics during the golden age of comics). Wasn’t bad but I did not care much for the gay stuff.

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."

There are no bounds to the sick, twisted viciousness of those people.

From the looks of the kid, he might have been mad that the girl didn’t have a penis.

Son is innocent until proven different, even that might not change anything. Does anyone need a reminder of what ‘women’ have accused Trump of doing over the years? Anyone who believes all women are fools.

“Son is innocent until proven different”

If he did it, he is not innocent.
