A Bronx man accused of rape thought he could beat the charges if he could get rid of his alleged victim and a witness—the problem was that he hired an undercover cop to take care of it for him. Anthony Perez told the cop—who posed as a hitman—that he would pay him $100,000 to kill the woman who accused him of rape and a witness who was in the apartment where the incident allegedly took place in April 2006. The "hitman" met with Perez at Rikers Island where he's being detained and was provided a gun he could use, the name and address of one of the women and as well as a plan by Perez to lure the second intended victim to the first woman’s apartment. Perez also connected his hired gun to Tawana Leggett, who the undercover cop would call and signal his success in offing the two women with the code "get your suit and shoelaces ready.” Perez was arrested at Rikers for the new charges after the seven-month sting.
