Rape-cop stink

Finest in attack on teen had fling with prosecutor

THE LAWYER representing a teenage girl allegedly raped by two former NYPD detectives is prepared to call for a special prosecutor now that it’s been revealed that a Brooklyn assistant district attorney was having an affair with one of the cops.

“It is very troubling to hear this,” attorney Michael David said about the relationship between former Detective Richard Hall (photo left) and the Brooklyn ADA, identified by sources as Nicole Manini.

“The DA said (Manini) had nothing to do with the case and I’m hoping that she didn’t,” he said. “But if it’s found out that she tried to get some information on the case or communicate with Hall about it, then we’re going to ask for a special prosecutor,” he said.

Hall, 32, and Detective Eddie Martins (photo right), 37, are facing kidnapping and rape charges for the Sept. 15 attack on the teenager, who uses the social media moniker Anna Chambers.

Chambers, 19, was under arrest for marijuana possession when the officers took turns raping her in the back of a police van as they drove from Gravesend to Coney Island, prosecutors said.

The cops told investigators the sex was consensual.

While reviewing the case, Hall’s phone records show calls to Manini before and after his arrest, David said.

The Brooklyn DA’s office confirmed the allegations against Manini, although they didn’t identify her by name.

“During our investigation of this case, we learned that a junior assistant district attorney in our office was engaged in an intimate relationship with defendant Hall and knew defendant Martins socially,” a spokesman for the Brooklyn DA’s office said in a statement.

“This ADA had no involvement in or access to the investigation or prosecution.

“Out of an abundance of caution, we have disclosed this information to all relevant parties,” the spokesman said.

David said that even if a special prosecutor isn’t needed, he plans to bring up Hall’s relationship with Manini in both the criminal and civil case. “It clearly shows the character of Detective Hall,” he said.

The two detectives quit the NYPD after their arrests. Both are expected back in court Thursday to set a trial date and handle other matters. Chambers’ father, who was outraged by this recent revelation, plans to attend the hearing, David said.

So far, Manini isn’t facing any discipline or suspension, according to sources.

The detectives’ arrest sparked a change in the laws regarding the handling of prisoners.

Last week, lawmakers passed a bill making it illegal for police to have sex with their prisoners.

New York State law already ruled out the possibility of consensual sex between correction officers and prisoners, but the law didn’t apply to cops.

The new law closed that loophole, officials said.

Meanwhile, David has moved his multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the NYPD and the city from state court to federal court.
