ORGAN ‘DONOR’13

Bribe case hooker tells of sex with cheap creeps

- BY STEPHEN REX BROWN

A former escort testified Thursday that she spent “a long weekend” in Las Vegas with a crooked Brooklyn businessma­n and an NYPD deputy inspector — and they paid her a pittance.

Gabi Grecko — whose real name is Gabriella Curtis — shared her account of the notorious flight to Las Vegas on Super Bowl weekend in February 2013 that is central to the case against Deputy Inspector James Grant and businessma­n Jeremy Reichberg.

She said she engaged in “sex acts” with the two men, as well as a third creep, corrupt Mayor de Blasio donor Jona Rechnitz. Two other cops were also on the plane, according to Grecko (photo).

After three days in Vegas with the men, Grant drove her home and paid her a paltry sum of $1,500 to $2,000, the ex-call girl recalled.

“I was not very happy. It was not very much .... That many days with those type of people,” Grecko, 29, said. “It was a long weekend.”

Her testimony, which was accompanie­d by photos from the flight, created a tense atmosphere in Manhattan Federal Court. She was grilled at length about a period she wanted to forget — when she believed publicity about her prostituti­on could lead to fame.

“All the slut-shaming. Like I’m not even a person anymore — like I’m just a hooker,” Grecko said of her notoriety. “It didn’t benefit me at all. It’s embarrassi­ng.”

She wore a red-and-pink dress to court along with rose tights and spiked red high heels.

Federal prosecutor­s say the flight aboard a private jet is an example of a corrupt arrangemen­t in which Reichberg would shower Grant with gifts. The high-ranking cop is accused of taking official action to boost Reichberg’s status in his community in return.

Grecko testified she first met Reichberg in late 2012 during a bachelor party at a Midtown hotel in which she engaged in “sex acts.”

Reichberg later contacted her and said he had “some sort of job coming up,” she recalled.

They went together and bought an extra-small costume for the flight, she testified. “It was a stewardess costume. Like one of those revealing Halloween-type costumes,” Grecko said.

Grecko recalled engaging in “sex acts” on the flight and in Vegas with Grant, Reichberg and Rechnitz. The cop denies he had sex with Grecko.
