MANHATTAN SUPREME COURT — Two Swedish men accused of sexually abusing a 19-year-old woman at the W Hotel in Midtown last week made a brief appearance in court Friday.
Niklas Adalbert, 30, allegedly straddled the victim and fondled her breasts while Jens Saltin, 31, allegedly undressed her inside a suite at the swanky hotel chain's Lexington Avenue and East 50th Street location on Feb. 4, according to the criminal complaint.
Both are charged with first-degree sexual abuse and are free on $10,000 bail each.
In court on Friday, Adalberth's attorney, Andrea Zellan, said that "the DA's office is working very quickly on an investigation, and I do believe that at the end...the charges will be dismissed."
Prosecutors did not comment on the status of the investigation. The pair have not yet been indicted and the case was adjourned to Feb. 24 for an ongoing investigation.
