New dirt on pervy UWS super

Shocking, newly released court documents describe the ordeals of alleged victims of a former Upper West Side building super accused of pressuring cash-strapped female tenants to pay their rent with sexual favors.

“He told me to take my clothes off really slowly so that he could watch,” one of the women said in a deposition about William “Billy” Barnason.

“He had sex with me for about probably a minute . . . He slapped me on the ass and said, ‘Now we’re even.’ ’’

The woman and her roommate were allowed to move into another apartment the next day, owned by the same elderly landlord, Stanley Katz.

They said they were told “there was nothing due” in back rent.

Barnason, the woman said, “just told me that when I slept with him that I didn’t have to worry about having a place to stay and that he would take care of everything with Stanley.”

Another woman testified that she had sex with Barnason after it became clear to her that she was not going to be able to afford $330 a week in rent.

The Post, in 2010, first revealed the accusations against Barnason, who spent nearly 14 years in prison for raping or molesting five young girls on Long Island.

Soon afterward, the Manhattan US attorney filed a lawsuit against Barnason and Katz, accusing them of violating the Fair Housing Act via the super’s sexual harassment and the landlord’s complicity. In his own deposition, Katz admitted that Barnason told him about his criminal record in the mid-2000s.

Asked how he reacted, Katz answered, “Made no difference to me . . . It was 20 years prior. He was a prized employee.”
