It was the maximum jail sentence possible.
Misogynist sicko, Jasson Melo, 26, faced time for coercion, a felony, for making the 22-year-old mother of his child undress and walk around his Harlem block. This followed hours of verbal and physical abuse inside his apartment, according to evidence submitted at his trial in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Talk about sadism!
It didn’t end there!
Melo actually filmed the degrading and torturing act for his own amusement. He can reportedly be heard scolding his girlfriend victim in Spanish and calling her a “whore.”
He even promoted the video on Instagram and tried to sell merchandise with quotes from the twisted footage. Unbelievably!
He also went as far as recreating the January 2016 walk for a music video and joked about the victim’s humiliation in social media posts.
Melo sent the clip to her relatives and men he believed she’d been flirting with.
She has said they were in the process of splitting up, and she was moving without him to the Dominican Republic.
Their 2-month-old was left unattended on Melo’s bed at his W. 142nd St. building as he threatened to beat her with a metal Buddha statue if she refused to go outside in the nude.
After the video went viral and became the subject of a widely covered news story, Melo was arrested.
”Jasson Melo’s view of women belongs to the Dark Ages,” Justice Robert Mandelbaum said before sentencing the former United Nations chef to 2 1/3 to 7 years in prison.
“To him, women are property.”
