New York Man Convicted of Rape Allegedly Orchestrates Murder-for-Hire Plot Against Judge, Prosecutor, and Witness
Kise, 21, was convicted just last month for the sexual assault and unlawful imprisonment of an 18-year-old high school student whom he had invited over in June 2022 after meeting her online.
Prosecutors revealed that Kise had sexually assaulted and strangled the victim over a two-day period before coercing her into falsely attributing her injuries to a mugging during a hospital visit. The victim managed to escape Kise’s captivity the following day with the help of an Uber.
However, before Kise could be sentenced for his crimes, authorities allege that he conspired with his girlfriend, Alydia Gater, to hire someone to kill the judge, prosecutor, and witness involved in his trial. The plot reportedly unfolded through jailhouse calls between Kise and Gater, with discussions including specific details about the targets’ locations. Prosecutors claim that Kise and Gater even offered Xanax pills as a down payment to an undercover police officer posing as a hitman.
His girlfriend, 22-year-old Alydia Gater, is accused of meeting with someone who she thought was a hired killer in a parking lot in March.
“Unbeknownst to her the person she was meeting was an undercover officer,” said State Police Criminal Investigations Captain Kevin Sucher.
Police say Gater offered the undercover officer $1,750 worth of Xanax as payment to kill the judge.
Additionally, a 16-year-old juvenile was arrested in connection with the plot.
“There was actually very affirmative actions taken on behalf of Alexander Kise by his girlfriend and others. There is a juvenile who is charged in this case also to take the life of a judge and there was plans to take the life of an assistant district attorney and a person who testified in his original trial,” Assistant District Attorney Kelly Wolford announced Thursday, revealing that a 16-year-old was also arrested.
Both Kise and Gater now face charges of attempted murder, conspiracy, and criminal sale of a controlled substance. Authorities stated that approximately $1,750 worth of Xanax was used as payment for the intended killings.
The investigation into the plot uncovered connections between Kise and Gater, including social media posts indicating their engagement and Gater’s pregnancy. Alydia Gater’s Facebook page revealed posts referencing their engagement and the expectation of a child.
Kise was awaiting sentencing for his rape conviction and faces a maximum of 57 years in prison and 20 years of parole on the initial charges.
