South Brooklyn Narcotics officers accused of raping teen resign prior to NYPD trial
The two police officers accused of raping a teenager in a police van in southern Brooklyn last month have left their jobs at the NYPD.
Police officers Eddie Martins and Richard Hall, formerly assigned to Brooklyn South Narcotics Division, appeared on their own at Police Headquarters Monday, November 6 and resigned.
The duo – charged in a 50-count indictment that includes first-degree rape, first-degree criminal sexual act and second-degree kidnapping, among other charges – were originally scheduled for a department trial on Thursday, November 9.
