After approaching the vehicle, Detective McKevitt ordered Plaintiff out of the vehicle on the pretext that he smelled marijuana in the vehicle, before handcuffing and arresting him. Plaintiff was subsequently taken to a precinct, and interrogated for the offences of rape and sexual abuse which he did not commit. Whilst Plaintiff was being transferred to Rikers Island, he was forced to remain in a police van for 5 hours, with his hands handcuffed behind his back. This left him with a permanent injury to his left arm and middle back. Plaintiff was maliciously prosecuted for sexual offences, but on or about September 7, 2023, all charges against him were dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=ZvStODWBd/VgnnXDwWrkrA==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"N., L., an Infant By Fng Nieves, Robert vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2017-11-30","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"521352/2017","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","officer_name":"Herrea, Jessica","summary":"On November 3, 2014 infant L.N.'s school alleged L.N. claimed her father, Plaintiff and L.N.'s guardian, had licked her vagina. The transcript clearly reveals L.N. meant \"looked\" in her pants as part of his normal adjustment of her clothes. L.N. is autistic, has difficulty assessing what is real, repeats phrases said to her, and is highly impressionable according to an evaluation by a doctor a year prior. Additionally, one year prior L.N. had fabricated an attack by a bus matron. PO Jessica Fuentes and Lt Betsy Guzman arrived at Plaintiff's and L.N.'s home on November 3, 2014 and asked them to come to child services headquarters. There L.N. was interviewed with questions submitted by Det. Feuntes. Though the interview room was equipped to record no recording of the interview was made. Plaintiff was taken into an interrogation room where Det. Fuentes questioned and arrested him for sexual abuse. L.N. was removed from Plaintiff's custody and he did not see his daughter again for two and a half years. \n\nOn November 17, 2014 Plaintiff was indicted by a grand jury of sexual abuse among other crimes. A doctor, a psychologist, and L.N.'s grandmother reported L.N. was not an accurate reported, that assessing the veracity of L.N.'s statements was challenging, and that L.N. had made incredulous statements about being abused at school while laughing. In fact, an investigation of a subsequent alleged incident purportedly by another individual revealed no one had touched L.N. On February 14, 2017 the indictment against Plaintiff was dismissed in its entirety. The child services petition against Plaintiff was dismissed on March 1, 2017. Plaintiff was incarcerated for one week and was deprived of necessary medicine for his diabetes, and was forced to appear in both Family and State Supreme Court for two and a half years to defend against his charges. Plaintiff suffered personal injuries, pain, severe mental anguish, emotional distress, denial of family integrity, and denial of medical care as a result of this incident.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=70H8rt7sEGnncdt394fIFA==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Desouza, Anwar vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2017-03-17","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"504838/2017","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","officer_name":"Herrea, Jessica","summary":"On July 17, 2013, at approximately 6:00pm, Plaintiff Anwar Desouza was lawfully in his apartment located at 725 Miller Avenue, Apt. 3F in Brooklyn, NY when NYPD Detective NIURCA QUINONES (Shield 3310), Officers JESSICA FUENTES (Shield 17413), and JESSICA HERRERA (Shield 14413) arrived accompanied by a SWAT team and forced the Plaintiff to open his door. The Defendant officers were investigating the injury of a woman who was thrown off the roof of the Plaintiff's building three days prior by a man named Antonio Owensford who was then an overnight guest of the Plaintiff's. Once Plaintiff opened his door, the Defendant officers, without a warrant for Plaintiff's arrest, threw Plaintiff to the ground, handcuffed him, and then transported him to the NYPD SVU Unit located at 653 Grand Avenue in Brooklyn. Plaintiff was subjected to interrogation by Defendants QUINONES, FUENTES, and HERRARA without being read his Miranda rights, was not allowed to make a phone call, and was denied his right to counsel. Plaintiff was detained and interrogated for three days during which time the Defendant officers took a cell phone photograph of the Plaintiff which was subsequently shown to the victim of the July 14th incident. The victim, upon reviewing the photo array, identified the Plaintiff as her attacker. However, the photo array consisted of the Plaintiff, who is fair-skinned with long har, and five other men who were dark-skinned with close-cut short hair. \n\nFollowing his three day interrogation, Plaintiff was taken to Brooklyn Central Booking, charged with multiple felonies and then detained at Rikers Island for nine days until his release on July 26, 2013. However, Plaintiff was subsequently detained at Rikers Island from November 18, 2015 to December 31, 2015. The complaint does not specify why this occurred. During his incarceration at Rikers, Plaintiff, who is Muslim, was continuously denied access to Islamic services and halal meals and Plaintiff was repeatedly assaulted by other inmates resulting in injury to his left shoulder and knee. Despite a lack of evidence connecting Plaintiff to the events of July 14th, as well as their knowledge of the crime's actual perpetrator (Owensford) the DA's office persisted in its prosecution of Plaintiff until January 13, 2016 when the criminal charges against him were finally dismissed. Plaintiff suffered losses including the theft of his personal property after the Defendant officers left his home unsecured following his initial arrest, the loss of his apartment when he was prevented from returning to it, as well as the loss of his employment at a Whole Foods Market when he missed work because of his detainment and subsequent court appearances.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=zrmpKLonfUYIw6YWQQym4g==","type":"complaint"}]}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21024227-herrera-ea15ebe05e36919959e0f2ba89e0dc0ee7240ffe","type":"brady-giglio","complaints":[{"complaint_id":201106245,"available":true}],"lawsuits":["10CV3312","11CV1984"]}],"id":"398P","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/398P"}
