Two former New York City police officers pleaded guilty Thursday to charges of misconduct and receiving a bribe after the pair said they had sex with an 18-year-old drug suspect in the back of a police vehicle in exchange for releasing her.
When the prosecutors dismissed all the violent felony charges, they had"clearly shown to this Court that the violent felonies could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt," said Chun."The credibility of the victim, or the complainant, in this case was seriously, seriously questionable, at best. Also, by putting that complainant in the Grand Jury, that witness most likely obtained immunity except for potential perjury charges.
"As a result of this disturbing incident, New York passed a law to prohibit police officers from having sex with people in their custody, closing a loophole that had allowed officers to claim the sex was consensual," said Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez in a statement.
