Carlos Quinones, 16 at the time, was also arrested on Oct. 1, 2018 on rape and other felony charges. The date of his earlier arrest is the same day that Raise the Age legislation went into effect in New York State, making it possible for many 16-year-old defendants to have their cases heard in Family Court. Raise the Age did not apply to Quinones' case for several reasons, said Cecilia Walsh of the Albany County District Attorney’s Office.
