Rye Judge Seals Burglary Record As Bestiality Story Leaks

Rye Police say Judge Joseph Latwin ordered court documents related to a bestiality case sealed to prevent press access.

Clerks at Rye City Court on Thursday denied knowledge of the Feb. 9 burglary arrest of Nicaj Kutjim, 43, of 58 Peck Ave., and Rye Police refused to release copies of the arrest report saying Judge Joseph Latwin had "sealed" the arrest and court reports. However, information on the case is trickling out.

Lucian Chalfen of the Westchester District Attorney's office confirmed Kutjim is due to appear again in Rye City Court on March 6.

Published reports Wednesday said the Westchester District Attorney's Office confirmed the case involved bestiality.

A resident of the Rye Colony Apartments, who ask not to be identified, told Rye Patch that Kutjim has been employed as a superintendent at the cooperative apartments for a number of years.

Residents at Rye Colony Apartments received a letter notifying them Kutjim's keys to the property had been confiscated and that he was given two weeks to vacate the premises following the incident.

Let's look at the appropriateness of this post. First, it's clearly an ad because it points to aRead More specific insurance agent at a specific agency to contact. Second, it attempts to hide being an ad behind what may be useful information (or not). Third, the "person" who posted it doesn't use their real name. Instead, they use a pseudonym Divorce Information NOW. That doesn’t seem terribly reassuring to me. This the third advertising post on the “announcements” space since Rye Patch converted to the new site layout. Seems a bit of a mess to me. But hopefully someone will come along and figure out who the real poster is, their link to the advertised agent and agency, and then delete the post. After all, if it’s an ad, it should be labeled as such and the poster should pay for having it run. If that doesn’t happen, Patch won’t be able to pay its employees to keep real content on the site.
