BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — A gang member who broke into a Brooklyn apartment and sexually assaulted a woman at gunpoint was sentenced to 15 years behind bars on Thursday, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.
Derrin Dyson, 21, and three accomplices forced their way into a home on January 30, 2012 and threatened two victims, prosecutors said.
All four individuals were members of the Brower Boys gang, according to officials, and donned masks and bandanas while entering the apartment with a .22 caliber revolver and knives.
They blindfolded the victims and tied their hands behind their backs, prosecutors said, forcing the man into a bathroom and the woman onto a bed in her room.
Dyson demanded the PIN for the pairs’ debit and credit cards, left the home and withdrew more than $1,000 from the woman’s account, the DA said.
Upon his return, Dyson forced her to perform oral sex on him at gunpoint while she was tied up on the bed, after two of the other thieves had already sexually assaulted her, officials said.
The group took off with laptops, cash, bank cards, and a wrist watch, according to detectives, and sold a stolen MacBook and iPod at a nearby deli, officials said.
Dyson’s three accomplices — one of whom was 13 at the time of the incident — previously pleaded guilty to the crime, according to prosecutors.
Dyson, of Crown Heights, was sentenced to 15 years following his conviction on first-degree criminal sexual act, first-degree sexual abuse, first-degree burglary, first-degree robbery and other charges.
His sentence will run consecutively with a 10-year term he is already serving for an unrelated Brooklyn robbery and conspiracy case, for which he pleaded guilty in July, officials said.
