An accused sexual predator was held today on $500,000 bail by a Brooklyn judge for allegedly raping and robbing a 78-year-old woman in her East New York home.

Gerrard Pressley, 33, pushed his way into a Glenmore Road apartment Oct.22 and raped the elderly woman, police said.

He fled with an undisclosed sum of cash and two cellphones.

Pressley – who was moved to Rikers Island following the bail hearing at Brooklyn Supreme Court– has prior arrests for burglary, trespassing and drug possession.
