Honduran national indicted for touching multiple young girls inside Long Island TJ Maxx: DA

A Honduran national grabbed three young girls’ butts in separate incidents at a Long Island TJ Maxx and was caught pleasuring himself while staring at one of the victims, police said. Pervy Jimmy Harry Velasquez Gomez, 44, was indicted on multiple child sex-abuse charges Friday after investigators allegedly caught him on the store’s surveillance camera groping young girls between the ages of seven and 11 in three separate encounters over a span of months. “The charges against this defendant describe disturbing acts of sexual abuse that strike at the heart of our community’s sense of safety,” Suffolk District Attorney Ray Tierney said. The disgusting displays stretched from April through October and involved incidents with a young girl each time who had briefly stepped away from her parents while browsing the toy aisle, prosecutors said. Initially on April 19, police said a 7-year-old and her mother reported that a man, later identified as Gomez, approached the child in the aisle and grabbed her butt before taking off when the child went to tell her mom. Months later, on Sept. 20, an 11-year-old told her parents that Gomez did the same to them as he walked past her. The creep allegedly struck again on Oct. 29, stalking a 9-year-old girl across the store and rubbing himself over his pants as he watched her shop before also touching her. Gomez’s lawyer, Joseph Hanshe, previously claimed his client only “brushed along” the children as he was attempting to pass them in the store. Surveillance footage from all three dates, however, showed Gomez in the store acting deliberately, investigators said. Gomez, originally from Honduras, was taken into custody and arraigned Nov. 14 on charges including first- and second-degree sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child. He’s been held on bail up to $3. 5 million. Hanshe did not return The Post’s request for comment.
