The officers allegedly made a bogus 911 call as an excuse to go back and rape the victim.
Two NYPD cops accused of raping a drunken woman as she lay face down in her bed, semiconscious and covered in vomit, made a fake 911 call so they could return to the victim's East Village apartment, according to the prosecution.
Officers Kenneth Moreno and Franklin Mata, who are suspended from duty, made the call from a pay phone at an intersection where they responded to a traffic accident the morning of the sexual assault, Dec. 7. The caller, who identified himself as John Edward, told police there was a drunken homeless man making a scene two doors down from where the victim lived, according to the New York Post. Prosecutors say the morning phone call is a clear sign the cops coldly plotted to rape the victim.
