A Manhattan nursing student is suing the NYPD for $3 million, claiming the cops sent to interview her about her sexual assault instead took her drinking and tried to have sex with her — telling her afterward, “It can’t leave this room” and threatening that her “credibility would be shot” if she told anyone about their night out.
The 25-year-old woman says in the Manhattan federal lawsuit, filed late Tuesday, that after she was sexually assaulted by a social acquaintance in a Manhattan apartment in January 2013, she flew to Seattle to be with her family, then reported the assault to the NYPD in June 2013.
NYPD Lt. Adam Lamboy and Detective Lukasz Skorzewski flew to Seattle to interview the woman about the assault, but at a follow-up meeting on July 6, 2013, they instead pressured her into drinking with them, according to the suit.
Lamboy even joked that it was “OK” and “we’ll protect you,” the suit states.
The cops kept buying her drinks over a 10-hour pub crawl, with Skorzewski flirting with the woman and telling her, “You’re my favorite victim,” according to the suit.
“By midnight, plaintiff indicated she needed to leave because she had work in the morning.
“The officers told plaintiff to call her boss and tell him she could not make it to work and they would ‘vouch for her’ as police officers,” the suit states, adding that the cops coaxed the woman into spending the night at their hotel.
Skorzewski climbed into bed with the woman and said he wanted to kiss her, but even when she said that was inappropriate, he persistently kissed and fondled her while trying to get his hands into her pants for the next 20 to 30 minutes, the suit states.
“Eventually, plaintiff was able to get out of bed and retreated to the shower where she began to cry,” the suit claims.
“When plaintiff returned to the room, she was confronted by Skorzewski, who implored plaintiff not to divulge what had just transpired to anyone. ‘It can’t leave this room,’ stated Skorzewski,” according to the lawsuit.
The NYPD suspended and demoted Skorzewski. Lamboy’s pay was docked and he was transferred.
