Nyc Sexual Assault Case Reduced To An “attempt” Despite Recorded Admissions-what Options Do I Have For Review, Compensation, And Further Investigation?

Location: New York city. I’m looking for legal guidance regarding a sexual assault, as well as concerns about how the subsequent criminal case was handled.
I was extremely intoxicated when my ex-boyfriend had sex with me. I was not aware of what was happening and do not remember consenting. He also recorded the encounter without my knowledge or consent. I don’t know how many times recordings happened before. I reported the incident to the police. I was told they had a warrant for his phone, but no one was able to get access to it.

I was told I would be provided with information about the case and updates regarding its progress, but I ultimately did not receive the assistance or communication I was expecting. I attempted to contact the detective assigned to the case and provide additional evidence, but I was unable to get a response through the phone or email.

The evidence includes voice recordings in which my ex discusses what he did. In the recordings, he acknowledges having the videos and makes statements about having sex with me while I was intoxicated and was still clearly intoxicated in the recordings. He also made statements about forcing sexual acts on me while I was drunk and said that he could not control himself sexually. In another statement, he threatened to hit me over the head after I discovered the recordings.

Despite this evidence, I was informed that he ultimately pleaded to reduced charges involving an “attempt.” I am trying to understand what this means legally and whether there is any mechanism for having the handling of the case reviewed.

There is also a separate issue involving his minor sister, who subsequently accused him of sexually assaulting her. Before I knew about her accusation, my ex had made disturbing statements to me concerning his sister, including claiming that his father would crush up drugs and put them in her food to “shut her up.” I had previously reported concerns about his sister to authorities because of what I had learned, but I do not know whether anything was done. His sister lives in Florida.

After learning about her allegations, I attempted to provide information and evidence concerning her situation to my detective because I believed it could be relevant to assessing the risk he posed and potentially to the investigation. I was unable to establish contact with the detective.

The assault and the aftermath have also caused significant emotional and functional consequences for me. I experienced severe panic, inability to sleep or eat, and difficulty functioning normally after the incident. I ultimately became reliant on prescribed benzodiazepines to function and now have physical dependence on them. My psychiatrist has treated me throughout this period and can document the impact the incident had on me and my treatment.

I am disabled, and the experience has had a substantial effect on my daily life. Finding out that the charges had been reduced was extremely distressing, particularly because of statements my ex made afterward expressing hostility toward women and justifying sexual violence.

I subsequently reposted publicly available social-media posts concerning his sister’s allegations because I believed he remained a danger to others. I am concerned about whether doing so could create legal exposure for me, and I do not want to make my situation worse.

My main questions are:
Can a criminal case in NYC be reviewed or challenged after the defendant has pleaded to reduced charges?

Can I obtain the records, evidence, plea agreement, or other information concerning how the charges were reduced?

Is there any mechanism for requesting that the DA’s office reconsider the handling of the case based on additional evidence, including recorded admissions?

Could I potentially pursue a civil lawsuit for the sexual assault, nonconsensual recording, emotional distress, or other damages even though there was a criminal plea to reduced charges?

Would my psychiatric records and treatment history potentially be relevant to damages in a civil case?

Could I face legal consequences for reposting the sister’s publicly available allegations, particularly if I do not add false statements of my own?

Should I stop posting about the situation and speak with an attorney before doing anything further?

What type of attorney should I be looking for—civil sexual-assault litigation, victims’ rights, criminal appellate/post-conviction, or another specialty?

I want to understand what legal options remain available to me and whether there is a way to have the circumstances and evidence properly reviewed. Thank you for any advice.
