A group of NYPD cops showed up at the hospital where an 18-year-old woman was seeking treatment after allegedly being raped by two Brooklyn detectives, in a bid to bully her out of bringing sex assault charges, her lawyer claims.

“They came with nine cops to intimidate her and her mom, to discourage them from coming forward and reporting the rape and sex assault,” Michael David, who represents the accuser, Anna Chambers, told The Post.

One officer in particular questioned Chambers’ story at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, where she had gone with her mom for a rape kit on Sept. 15 around 10:45 p.m., hours after the alleged rape and sexual assault, the lawyer said.

“He kept saying to Anna and her mom, ‘How do you know they were real cops?’ ” David said.

1. FYI Both men were indicted for rape and other crimes at the end of October...

Nine cops showing up at an ED to speak with a victim would be very noticeable (and somewhat unusual, where it doesn't involved a wounded cop) so they probably have several witnesses among the hospital staff.
