RYE, N.Y. - Rye City Court Judge Joseph Latwin has redacted information from court files surrounding a case of alleged bestiality in Rye Colony citing a section of civil rights law as the reason.
Civil Rights law section 50b states the right of privacy to victims of sex offenses.
Documents from Rye City Court corroborate reports from the District Attorney published first in The Daily Rye that Kujtim Nicaj, 41, the former superintendent of Rye Colony, was arrested Feb. 9 and charged with the felony of burglary in the second degree and a misdemeanor of sexual misconduct.
According to the accusatory instruments filed by the District Attorney's office, Nicaj allegedly engaged in sexual misconduct with a dog. The court documents also state that the misconduct took place on Feb. 8 at approximately 2:30 p.m.
According to the New York State Office of Court Administration, the court documents were never sealed as has been reported. Rather, only information identifying the breed of the dog and the tenant's address has been redacted.
According to Lt. Joseph Verille of the Rye Police Department, Latwin has placed a gag order on the case, which has prevented information surrounding the incident from being released.
The District Attorney's office has also honored Latwin's decision and has declined comment regarding the redacted information.
Two residents who have lived in the development for five years called the charges "salacious rumors" and said their former super is a nice man.

A PURE CONSPIRACY AGAINST AN HONEST FAMILY AND PERSON
“ …I believe in Jesus Christ and in US Justice”, Mr. Kujtim Nicaj said. “Kujtim” means “Remembrance”, “Memory” in Albanian
- “ … We feel like died living people “ his wife stated

Everything in this dirty story is made up by a sick mind and a failure lawyer to got same money and to destroy the life and the reputation of a honest and working hard man as Mr. Kujtim Nicaj is well-known by everybody who has contact with him.
Nicaj family is a very traditional and honorable Roman catholic family from North Albania. They were brutally persecuted by former communist dictatorship in Albania. Mr. Kujtim's father Mr. Mach Nicaj was arrested, tortured and sent in a former communist prison and concentration camp for many ... many years.
He and the rest of the family were deprived from most essential human rights and were treated as slaves by former secret police, Sigurimi i Shtetit, a former communist dictatorship SS.
He have worked hard during many years here in USA realizing his American dream,
He have a very beautiful wife and kids. He didn’t needed to sexually assault neither sodomize the "girl friend" or the " wife "- the dog of a failed and sick mind lawyer without a family, in a full crises.
It’s a pure dirty invention and conspiracy to get some money at any price and to ruin a honest and honorable family.
The big noise of the local and national media is a shame and is orchestrated just to sale their sensations and dirty stories. This sensational media is killing his beautiful and innocent kids in a very similar way the former communist regime kills Mr, Kujtim Nicaj and his family during almost half century back in Albania. They lost the only fount of incomes, the job of their father. They lost the home. They would lost very soon even their schools.
Due to that noise Mr. Kujtim, Nicaj was fired from his job. He was fired from his home. He lost everything before his culpability is proved by the Court of the Law, what it’s a brutal violation of his human rights.
“Every person is presumed innocent until his culpability is proven by the the Court of Law”, it’s a sacred sentence of US Justice system.
When I have asked for a comment from Mr, Kujtim Nicaj he was very firm. “ No comment! I believe in US justice and in US law! I put my family, my kids, myself lives in the hands of this great democratic country. I am sure the US justice would clean my name, my reputation“ he said, adding “ I know I am innocent, because never ever I haven’t committed any violation of law. I was working so hard that I don’t have time to bee involved in atrocities created by sick and criminal mind people. I am convinced Jesus Christ would be with my family, with my friends and with myself. He know better than anybody what I did and who I am … I believe in Jesus Christ and in the US Justice! May God bless them… Amen !”
“Every person is presumed innocent until his culpability is proven by the Court of Law”, he stated in the same time that two tears go down his face, a very rear act by any North Albanian man even in the worse and most sad moments of his life.
I hope God would see even his tears and the pain of his two young beautiful girls and his pretty wife who looks ruined and very, very sad. They cry in a very similar way their father and her husband has passed a way.
After I asked his wife about this bad invented story she said “ A believe Kujtim is innocent. I believe Jesus Chirst and US Justice would bee with us in these hardest times of our life. Even the death is more easy for us… We are killed in the worse possible way by that Evil mind person and even more by the Media…”
” How they could forget that ’ everybody, even the worse criminal in the World is presumed innocent until his culpability is proven by the Court of Law‘… As a mother and as spouse, I couldn’t forgive the hard wounds they opened to my innocent daughters and to my honest husband. We feel like died living people.” .
Did this judge actually site "Civil Rights law section 50b states the right of privacy to victims of sex offenses." ? I see this section being applied to HUMANS, but to an animal? Does it really matter what breed of dog it is? We all know what the location was. PC, going a muck!!
