An 18-year-old girl says two NYPD officers raped her after arresting her, according to reports.
Two detectives and their supervisor have been stripped of their badges and guns while the NYPD Internal Affairs’ Bureau’s investigation is ongoing, according to the New York Daily News.
The young woman said in a statement: “I’m completely brutalized by the rape. Now every time I see any police, I’m in a panic.”
She says she was driving in the Coney Island area of New York with two friends, when they were pulled over by police on suspicion of possessing illegal substances.
According to her attorney, Michael David, she was handcuffed and driven by the police officers to a secluded spot where they forced her to perform sex acts on them.
The young woman says she sought treatment in a New York hospital after the incident, which took place in September.
The officers in question did not deny the sexual acts occurred, but both claimed they were consensual, according to the New York Daily News.
“We’re aware of the allegations, and Internal Affairs is conducting an investigation into certain members of Brooklyn South narcotics,” a spokesperson for the New York Police Department said.

That has to be the worse attempt at a legal defense I've ever heard. There's no "consensual sex" with someone you arrested, handcuffed, and then drove to a secluded place all while under the color of authority. They basically admitted to rape.

these cops need fired, 100%.
in scenario 1, they raped her
in scenario 2, they letting her escape charges in return for sexual favors.
either way, they should never wear a badge again in their life.
edit: I am not saying punishment shouldn't include significant prison time. I just don't see how there is any scenario where they were not breaking the law. Even if it was consensual, it certainly seems like it would be for "favors" which to me should be some sort of corruption or obstruction of justice charge? dunno how that is prosecuted or prison terms for it, but these are two dirty cops.

"Officers claim sexual acts were consensual, according to reports."
From the article. Guess the handcuffs and rough play were just part of the consensual sex. /s
