We are a diverse NYC based coalition of advocates and organizations working to prevent violence and sexual assault in our city and promote women’s health and rights.

These ex-cops - who were found guilty of official misconduct but acquitted rape - made 3 unauthorized return trips to a woman’s apartment and even placed a fake 911 call to buy themselves more time inside the residence of the helpless person they had been called to protect. Moreno, while denying the rape allegation, actually testified he got into this semi-conscious woman’s bed while she was wearing nothing but a bra.

This outrageous conduct was a clear betrayal of the officers’ duty to protect this member of the public. Their misconduct leaves NYC women forced to wonder whether a police officer called in a moment of need will be a protector or a predator
