The officers in question were Gerard Delprete, John Ryan, Michelle Ortiz, Megan Carroll, Arthur Truscelli, Nicholas Velez, John Brooks, and David Luppino. Officer Delprete approached Plaintiff Esposito and handcuffed her left wrist. Officer Ryan then unfastened Plaintiff's pants and reached inside, touching her genitals and thigh areas. Defendant Ryan then handcuffed her right wrist. Defendant Ryan squeezed the handcuff to the point of extreme tightness and said something along the lines of \"I'm going to break both your fucking hands and wrists.\" The officers did not loosen plaintiff's handcuffs, leaving them in an extremely tight state for an extended period of time. Because the officers didn't loosen the handcuffs, plaintiff suffered injuries requiring ongoing medical treatment. \n\nWhile Plaintiff was handcuffed, Defendant Ortiz approached and pulled down Plaintiff's pants, searched her, and pulled her pants back up. Defendant Carrol assisted Defendant Ortiz with this search. Defendants Brooks and Luppino were present for all of this but failed to intervene. Plaintiff was imprisoned based on false allegations in materials prepared by officer Delprete, who conspired with the other named officers. All drug charges against Plaintiff were eventually dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4920406-Eposito-v-City-of-New-York-et-al"},{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.365223/gov.uscourts.nyed.365223.16.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4556651/eposito-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Minnis, Tyrone, Sr. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2015-01-06","disposition_date":"2015-12-14","payout_amount":10001,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"14CV07589","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Brooks, John","summary":"On June 26, 2013, Plaintiff received a call from his daughter informing him that NYPD officers were raiding her mother's home.
