Two NYPD detectives accused of raping 18-year-old in their custody say it was 'consensual'
On Sept. 14, two narcotics officers, detectives Edward Martins and Richard Hall, were reportedly working undercover with their supervisor, Sgt. John Espey, in an unmarked Dodge minivan in the Brighton Beach area of Brooklyn. According to police statements, the two officers left their assigned area and then ended up “busting” a group of young people hanging out in Calvert Vaux Park around 8 PM. They only arrested one of the three teens, the suspected victim, for possessing marijuana and Klonopin (an anti-anxiety medication).
They only handcuffed the woman, telling her friends that they were taking her to the 60th Precinct on W. Eighth St. in Coney Island for processing.
Instead, Martins and Hall allegedly took her to a secluded spot about two blocks from the 60th Precinct stationhouse, where she says she was forced to perform a sex act on both cops.
The victim was then returned to her friend, at which point the friend took her to a hospital to have a rape kit administered. According to The Intercept, the victim’s attorney found it very suspicious how quickly an excuse seemed to be generated surrounding this event.
