Man Attacked, Raped, Robbed Woman In Nassau Motel Room: DA

WOODBURY, NY — A Suffolk County man was indicted today on charges of rape and robbery for attacking a woman in a Woodbury motel last year, Nassau County officials said.

Isaih Giles, 26, was arraigned on charges of first-degree rape, first-degree criminal sexual act, first-degree burglary as a sexually motivated felony, first-degree burglary, second-degree robbery as a sexually motivated felony, second-degree robbery and first-degree sexual abuse. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Giles is due back in court on April 13. If convicted, he could face up to 90 years in prison.

“Isaih Giles, an approximately six-foot-seven, 265-pound man, allegedly forced his way into the victim’s hotel room and demanded money. When she did not comply, the defendant allegedly strangled the victim, violently raped her, took her money and jewelry, and fled,” said Nassau District Attorney Anne Donnelly.

According to Donnelly, on April 22, 2021, Giles was at a Days Inn on Jerich Turnpike in Woodbury. He put his foot in the door of the victim to stop her from closing it, then entered her room and demanded money and jewelry, Donnelly said. When the woman refused, Donnelly said he strangled her, forced her to commit sexual acts and raped her. Donnelly said Giles also stole money and jewelry from the woman.

Giles was arrested by Nassau County police detectives in the Bronx on Feb. 17, 2022.

Donnelly asks anyone who thinks they may have been a victim of Giles to call the Nassau Special Victims Squad at (516) 573-4022.
