According to the DA's office, Parham was indicted in New York State Supreme Court on multiple felony charges, including six counts of predatory sexual assault and six counts of rape in the first degree.
Additional charges include first-degree robbery, first- and second-degree burglary as sexually motivated felonies, and first-degree sexual abuse.
Prosecutors allege the attack occurred in the late morning hours of Jan. 29 inside a residential building in the complex. Parham was arrested on Feb. 3.
"This broad daylight attack horrified the community and the borough," Bragg said in a statement. "My thoughts are with the victim as she recovers."
The case is being handled by the Manhattan District Attorney's Special Victims Division. Anyone seeking assistance can contact the division at (212) 335-9373.
According to published reports, some residents have faulted management for what they say was a slow response in the aftermath of the attack. The complex is owned by Blackstone and managed by Beam Living.
