The Defendants approached Plaintiff because of a false complaint made by a woman the Plaintiff had met through a dating website. The woman had threatened to falsely accuse the Plaintiff of rape unless he paid her $50,000. The Defendants were notified about the threats the woman made but failed to investigate the woman who had a history of meeting victims on dating websites, drugging them, and stealing their property. Despite being notified about the threats and knowing that the Plaintiff did not commit a crime, the Defendants initiated criminal proceedings against the Plaintiff. The case against the Plaintiff was ultimately dismissed. As a result of Defendants’ actions, the Plaintiff suffered physical injuries, psychological and emotional distress, injury to his reputation, loss of employment advancement, financial damages, and loss of companionship.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=gLICaEXpRC04M61jgB8rGQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Rivera, Jermain vs City of New York, et al.","docket":"024224/2012","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","start_date":"2013-01-03","disposition_date":"2016-07-12","disposition":"Settlement","payout_amount":62500,"defendant":"Soto, Manuel","officer_name":"Soto, Manuel"}],"id":"Y42Z","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/Y42Z"}
