A 50-year-old Queens raped by a masked creep in a “Ghost Face” sweatshirt from the “Scream” horror movie franchise managed to call her adult daughter, who ran over and interrupted the attack on a secluded residential block in Queens, prosecutors said Friday.
Rody Morales Cu was on top of his victim when the woman’s 25-year-old daughter ran up and screamed at him, scaring him off, according to court documents released during Cu’s arraignment on rape and sex abuse charges.
A Queens criminal court judge ordered Cu, 20, held without bail following the brief arraignment proceeding.
The stone-faced Cu said nothing to reporters Wednesday as he was led out of the 112th Precinct in Forest Hills, ignoring questions shouted at him.
Cops claim Cu snuck up behind his victim around 3 a.m. on April 11 near the corner of 162nd St. and 89th Ave., near NYCHA’s Shelton House in Jamaica.
He placed a blade against the woman’s side and ordered her to be quiet, but the mom managed to speed dial her daughter on her cellphone and scream for help before Cu knocked her to the ground, cops said.
The daughter was nearby and ran over, catching Cu in the act, police said.
Startled, Cu ran off and was last seen running down 89th Ave., cops said. His victim was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
Investigators used surveillance footage to track Cu to 160th St. and 90th Ave., where the suspect was caught on camera removing his mask. It also clearly showed the “Ghost Face” sweatshirt with red lettering highlighting a picture of the scary “Scream” character.

Using area surveillance cameras, cops were able to track Cu all the way to his apartment building on 165th St., prosecutors said. Detectives staking out the building arrested him on Tuesday.
As they interrogated him, he admitted to sex with his victim and identified himself in surveillance photos, prosecutors said.
The Queens Defenders, which represented Cu at his arraignment, declined to comment when reached, citing the ongoing case.
