Corpuz’s boyfriend had attempted and/or threatened to hit a pedestrian with her car on the SJU campus on that day, and she did not want her boyfriend to be arrested. Because plaintiff and Defendant Corpuz’ boyfriend are both Asian, Defendant Corpuz hoped if her boyfriend had been spotted on campus, she could have alleged it was actually the plaintiff and not her boyfriend driving on the campus, and driving illegally and recklessly. Plaintiff informed Defendant Corpuz he would not lie for her. Defendant Corpuz was contacted by SJU Security and the NYPD who had a video showing her license plate as a car which made two apparent intentional attempts to run over a pedestrian on campus. She falsely alleged to both, first that the plaintiff was her boyfriend, and more importantly that the plaintiff was driving her car, which had been driven recklessly on campus. The NYPD officers assigned to investigate the incident performed no examination of Defendant Corpuz’s claims, and did not even speak to her, but set up a photo array containing Plaintiff’s photograph based solely on her statement. The background of the other individuals’ photos looked entirely distinguishable from Plaintiff’s and was overtly suggestive, which defendant officers did not try to fix, and it caused Plaintiff to be witnessed, even though the victim stated that he had not clearly seen the perpetrator’s face at any time. Plaintiff was then arrested and criminally charged, despite his efforts to inform the security officers and the police officers his side of the story. Four months later, the false charges were ultimately dismissed and sealed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.439647/gov.uscourts.nyed.439647.68.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/16302866/jiang-v-corpuz/"}],"id":"UKU3","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/UKU3"}
