A Gap fashion executive, who accused two New York cops of rape, is seen walking into her East Village apartment, escorted by the officers, in previously unseen surveillance footage. The woman alleges that one of the cops raped her while the other stood watch nearby.
It all began late one night when a taxicab driver dialed 911 to report that the woman in the backseat of his cab was practically passed out from, presumably, drinking too heavily:
The driver later testified that she was too drunk to get out of the cab by herself.
So then, two cops were sent to the scene: NYPD’s Kenneth Moreno and Franklin Mata. They walked her up to her flat.
What happened next is the subject of a $60 million lawsuit against New York City.
Prosectors claim that the officers helped the woman into the apartment and later returned–at which point, prosecutors claim, Morena raped the woman while Mata stood watch. Over the span of about four hours, the footage shows the officers entering and leaving the building three separate times.
But the question is: how drunk was she? Drunk enough to not consent to sex? But sober enough to wake up during the alleged rape to remember it? Drunk enough to be passed out in a cab? But sober enough to appear animated and conversational in the clip below? That’s for a jury to decide.

Posted on April 9, 2011 at 11:15amQuestion is, if she was so intoxicated that she couldn‘t get out of the cab why didn’t they arrest her for public dunkeness?
They didn’t but went back and forth between her apartment and wherever else?
Not sure if they are guilty of rape but seems highly suspicious

Posted on April 9, 2011 at 11:01amThey are innocent till PROVEN GUILTY.Yes maybe they should have called for an ambulance or taken her to the hospital but then they would be accused of raping her in their squad car so on this they can’t win to lose.Let’s just let all the facts come out and they will.But then again I remember what Glenn said they police are going to be the next to be attacked is one more sign of trouble to come for all officers.WAKE UP GUYS.

Posted on April 9, 2011 at 10:51amNow they have really done it. I expect a rash of 911 calls by female septuagenarians and octogenarians demanding that the police send Moreno and Mata immediately to their 10-20s.

Posted on April 9, 2011 at 10:26amI love it when the defenders of these roaches say they are innocent until proven guilty. But when ever a common man gets in trouble they are guilty as sin the moment they are arrested.

Posted on April 9, 2011 at 11:21amYou may be right……Im just saying ….in this clip there could be 100 senarios…if she chokes on her own vomit then the cops are demonized hence (the trips back into the house)…If they are guilty then convict them….but why the six million?…why doesnt she want justice?…on the surface its gold digging

Report Post »Let me see; is rape worse than theft? Seems that everyone in the world and all courts throughout the world think so. Except Muslims.
Are you Muslim. It would explain so cavalierly dismissing the rape of a woman.

Posted on April 9, 2011 at 11:03amHey I wasn’t there . I did not see what happened did you. How do you know the victim is not Crystal Magnum? You take too much on faith. I seen them black cops pushing shopping carts through a store being looted. Did you see that woman being raped? Do people lie? Are woman people? You are way to quick to judge and you trust the media too much.

Posted on April 9, 2011 at 10:06amHow often do these cops, or cops in general escort people into their apartments? Why come back? I wonder who else was going in and out of that building?
Was she letting them in over and over? Was the door unlocked? Was she texting and phoning through this time?

Posted on April 9, 2011 at 10:05amInnocent or guilty police officers should be held to a higher standard the the general public. Does it take four hours to escort a drunk person home? No. But a lot of bad things can happen in four hours. I hope there is some evidence to prove guilt or innocence. If these cops are bad guys they should be punished.

Posted on April 9, 2011 at 9:46amIsn’t there some kind of law against sex while on duty?
Date rape drug? I wonder if she went to the hospital? Is it possible she had more to drink upon arriving home and was slipped something?
Any blood/drug testing for this woman?
How did the officers report their activity? Repeat visits to the same home?

Posted on April 9, 2011 at 9:45amI sure hope this is NOT true, but have the officers explained why they went back? Maybe they were just checking to see if she was okay and ALIVE? They should have taken her straight to a hospital to see if she had alcohol poisoning.. IMO. Would have prevented this entire episode.

Posted on April 9, 2011 at 10:17amI agree, the fact that she is not just pressing charges but sueing for sixty million dollars makes me feel skeptical. I’m not excusing the officers even if it was consentual sex (on duty) but anytime someone goes after the lottery style win in these situations it makes me question what really happened and what a persons motives are.

Posted on April 9, 2011 at 10:36amAbsolutely agree with both of you. It could easily be a set up involving the cab driver to extort money from the city. The rape scenario could also be true, hopefully justice prevails in this case.
