Conclusion Meanings:

'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - The conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Substantiated': The misconduct occurred and it violated the rules. The NYPD has discretion over what, if any, discipline is imposed.
'Unfounded': Evidence suggests that the event or alleged conduct did not occur.
'Unsubstantiated': or 'Unable to Determine' - The alleged conduct was investigated but could not determine both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.
'Within NYPD Guidelines': The conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.

$125,000 Settlement
Complaint
Description: On January 2, 2019, the plaintiff was lawfully operating a motor vehicle on West 118th Street between Lenox Avenue and 5th Avenue, New York, New York when he was approached, harassed, battered, beaten, assaulted, unlawfully detained, and sodomized by defendant NYPD officers. The officers pulled him over because the license plate was covered. The defendants asked the plaintiff to step out the car and began aggressively searching him. One of the defendants grabbed the plaintiff's penis causing the plaintiff to tense up. The officers used the tension as a reason to accuse the plaintiff of having something on him and thus two more officers grabbed his penis twice more. His pants were then pulled down to his ankles ...
