An NYPD narcotics detective is facing dismissal over allegations he improperly strip-searched 18 women - but he's calling them all lying druggies.


Quote from the article:

Two of the women have filed federal suits against Detective Charles Derosalia, including Claudia Bova, who says he forced her to pull her pants down so he could photograph a below-the-navel tattoo with a cell phone camera. The married Derosalia is facing departmental trial. Bova and three other women have testified so far. If Derosalia is found guilty of the charges, he'll likely be fired. The probe was launched after Bova complained about the incident, which took place in a bathroom at the Brooklyn district attorney's office in June 2007. She had been arrested in a Coney Island drug sweep and later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and got drug treatment. Investigators from the Internal Affairs Bureau tracked down dozens of women who had been arrested in similar sweeps by Derosalia's team at Brooklyn South Narcotics, and 17 others said they had been strip searched by him. NYPD regulations prohibit male cops from performing strip searches of female prisoners.
