Plaintiff did so, remaining for at least an hour. Defendants Tilman, Rosa, & Aguayo encouraged Plaintiff and Strong to drink. Hernandez & Strong then asked plaintiff to \"come to the back of the restaurant\", to which Tilman, Rosa, & Aguayo cheered. Plaintiff agreed, interpreting this as meaning a public table, but Hernandez & Strong in fact led her down a hallway to an unfamiliar room. Hernandez left the room, and Strong began kissing and touching Plaintiff despite her objections. Plaintiff lost consciousness during the event. After sexually assaulting Plaintiff, Strong returned to the other Defendants. Plaintiff later awoke to Hernandez sexually assaulting her. Plaintiff took a rape kit test, which was commandeered by the NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.462153/gov.uscourts.nysd.462153.1.1.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4524360/dowell-v-strong/"},{"name":"Dowell, Colleen vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-09-12","disposition_date":"2014-01-15","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"157512/2013","court":"Supreme Court - New York","officer_name":"Strong, Douglas A.","summary":"On February 16, 2012, Plaintiff was employed as a waitress at a restaurant at 3920 Broadway, NY, NY. That evening Defendants Strong and Does sat and had dinner and drinks, to celebrate Strong's birthday. Defendant Hernandez asked Plaintiff to sit and spend time with them. At 12:00 a.m., February 17, Defendants asked Plaintiff to \"come to the back of the restaurant,\" where Hernandez had a personal table in a public area. Does knew Defendants planned to have improper relations with Plaintiff yet did not take any action to stop it. Since Hernandez's table was in a public area, Plaintiff felt safe going with Defendants. Hernandez led plaintiff through a hallway in the back of the restaurant and unlocked a door to a room with a bed. Plaintiff was completely unaware of this room and became very afraid after realizing what Defendants really meant by \"come to the back of the restaurant.\" Plaintiff entered the room, followed by Strong. Hernandez left the room. Plaintiff communicated to Strong she was uncomfortable and attempted to avoid his advances, but Strong kissed and touched her against her will. Plaintiff woke up naked at 3:00 a.m. to find Hernandez touching and sexually assaulting her. Plaintiff got dressed and left the restaurant crying. At 11:00 a.m. Plaintiff spoke to Strong, who informed her he mistakenly took her underwear. Strong returned Plaintiff's underwear later that day. Plaintiff did not show up for work again. No one from the restaurant attempted to contact Plaintiff. Plaintiff went to the hospital on that night and took a rape kit test, handled by NYPD's IAB. Plaintiff spoke to IAB detectives that night and was contacted by IAB at least three times to gather further information. At the District Attorney's request, Plaintiff spoke with an ADA several times. Results of the rape kit test are unknown to Plaintiff. Strong and Does were placed on modified duty from the 33rd Precinct. Strong retired less than six months after the Incident. Two of four defendants were ordered to go to rehab for alcohol abuse. At least two Does are no longer with the NYPD.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=HMqR1avHOdbLTgq5ZLHUPw==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Dowell, Colleen vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2012-12-11","disposition_date":"2025-08-04","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"158752/2012","court":"Supreme Court - New York"},{"officer_name":"Strong, Douglas A.","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2012-09-26","disposition_date":"2013-09-26","court":"U.S. District Court - Western District NY","docket":"12CV04902","name":"Meilleur, Leslie Maria vs Strong, Douglas, et al.","payout_amount":1500}],"news":[{"title":"Cop Denies Sexual Contact With Waitress But \"Did Take Her Panties\"","url":"http://gothamist.com/2012/02/29/cop_denies_sexual_contact_with_wait.php","source":"Gothamist","date":"2012-02-29"},{"title":"4 Detectives Suspected of Drinking on the Job","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/25/nyregion/4-detectives-suspected-of-drinking-on-duty.html","source":"New York Times","date":"2012-02-24"}],"id":"BT7U","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/BT7U"}
