While in police custody at the 23rd Precinct PO Virtuoso assaulted Plaintiff, causing severe injury to her legs including a broken tibia and fibula. Plaintiff was transported to the hospital for treatment of her injuries. The NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau (IA) initiated an investigation into the circumstances of Plaintiff's assault. IA scheduled an interview with Plaintiff, still in police custody, but the Department of Corrections refused to produce Plaintiff and IA was only able to interview PO Virtuoso. Without any statement from Plaintiff IA rendered a decision and Plaintiff was charged with attempted escape. IA also determined Plaintiff sustained no injuries, which is plainly contradicted by medical records. While Plaintiff was in custody no effort was made to find a female officer to escort Plaintiff to the restroom and PO Virtuoso instead accompanied Plaintiff, stating offensive words when Plaintiff insisted on a female officer. Plaintiff suffered great pain, distress, mental shock, mental anguish, and psychological trauma as a result of this incident.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=h78nfJL6Chruh2jOlI1Tjw==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Mims, David vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-01-13","disposition_date":"2017-01-11","payout_amount":75000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"150264/2014","court":"Supreme Court - New York","officer_name":"Virtuoso, Jonathan","summary":"On October 29, 2012 Plaintiff was filming a location at an intersection when he was approached by PO Jonathan Virtuoso, who grabbed Plaintiff, threw him to the ground, and assaulted Plaintiff.
