Serial NYC pervert who has been caught masturbating FIVE times in front of kids keeps on getting freed thanks to Bill de Blasio's lax bail reform laws

A serial pervert has been plaguing the Brooklyn neighborhood of Midwood for months now, repeatedly exposing himself to innocent, unsuspecting children—and he keeps getting off thanks to New York's soft, new bail reform laws.

Even worse—the creep lives mere feet away from a local elementary school.

Harry Zucker, 77, a white-haired man with a fondness for fondling himself in front of today's youth, has exposed himself a whopping five times since April 27, according to court records.

However, Zucker keeps getting off scot-free because New York City judges are barred from imposing bail on the charges, which were all classified as misdemeanors.

'Why is this guy still around?' a concerned dad told The New York Post on Wednesday. 'Get him in the system, get the trial, get it done. They're not taking it seriously. I have a daughter, she's 9. I have a son, he's 13.'

Zucker lives mere feet from PS 199's open schoolyard, and is regularly spotted lounging outside his house in a lawn chair, lewdly leering at unsuspecting students with his penis in plain view, according to The Post.

The school went as far as to hang up netting to block the fence separating Zucker's home from the school's play area, obscuring Zucker's gross gaze—but that still wasn't enough to dissuade the deviant.

On June 24, Zucker was seen masturbating INSIDE the schoolyard, on a bench 'looking at children on the playground,' a criminal complaint made by a disgusted parent revealed.

The very next day, Zucker was spotted pleasuring himself AGAIN, facing the school in his regular seat of sin, this time angled to look past the netting barrier, 'looking at children on the playground,' court records say.

Prior to the disturbing incidents in June, Zucker had already been arrested on two separate occasions for masturbating in front of children in three different times—once in April and twice in May. 

But despite the severity of each of these incidents, Zucker is currently a free man—thanks to controversial laws implemented by Mayor Bill de Blasio back in 2020, which eliminated cash bail for misdemeanors and non-violent felonies.

'The current legal system is completely failing us—just completely,' railed the irate father who spoke The Post. 'This guy should not be allowed to be near kids … has to go.'  

However, in a recent development, a new change to the widely disputed reform law allowed judges to now set bail in misdemeanor cases, if the defendant has an open case involving harm to another person. 

Following the change in policy, Brooklyn prosecutors proceeded to request bail on Zucker's misdemeanor public lewdness charge, which stemmed from the June incidents.

During that arraignment, prosecutors pleaded with the residing judge to hold Zucker on a $10,000 cash, $20,000 insurance company bond or a $30,000 partially secured bond—but Zucker was instead ruled to undergo psychiatric evaluation. 

According to court documents, Zucker had argued that he himself was a victim, saying that he had a past history of sexual abuse couldn't 'control' himself.

'I'm sorry I was sodomized by the black man,' Zucker expressed to the judge during the fateful hearing, court records show. 'It affected my brain and my body. I can't control what the black man did to me, I cannot control my brain, I cannot control the sexuality of my body; I am very sorry.'

Then, in a shocking series of events, Zucker's Legal Aid Society lawyer asked for a review of the judge's initial ruling, citing a technicality in the law that says psych tests can't be ordered on non-bail eligible offenses—which resulted in Zucker being sent home again, a little over a week later.

Outside his home Wednesday, Zucker appeared agitated when approached by a reporter, according to The Post. 

When asked about the allegations against him, the creep told the Post reporter that he had already served his 'penance'—not denying that he had exposed and pleasured himself in front of the students.

'There's a curtain between my alley and the schoolyard. I'm not visible to the children in the schoolyard… Nobody sees me!' he told The Post.

'I haven't done it in the alley where people can see me,' he loudly exclaimed.

'I've done penance and penance more will do! Why are we opening old wounds and making them bleed again? There are no problems in the present!'

Zucker's strange saga in court will continue during a Sept. 9 hearing.
