QUEENS, NEW YORK: An NYPD officer, Gilberto Salazar-Giraldo was arrested this week for the alleged rape of his live-in girlfriend, authorities reported Tuesday, October 5 morning. The said incident reportedly took place on September 7. No information about the victim was available at the moment.

Officer Gilberto Salazar-Giraldo, 27, was busted around 9.30 pm Monday, October 4 for the alleged rape of his 24-year-old girlfriend. This is not the first time that an NYPD officer has been accused of such a heinous crime. Two NYPD officers, Sanad Musallam and Yaser Shohatee, were fired for having sex with a teen aged 15 in July. The victim was allegedly enrolled in a teen program at the department. Former NYPD officer Maria Mendez filed an explosive federal lawsuit against her former employers in June, claiming she was raped, sodomized, and tortured by her colleagues. Two NYPD officers, Eddie Martins, 39, and Richard Hall, 34, were accused of taking turns to have sex with an 18-year-old suspect who was handcuffed in the back of their car in September 2017.
