New York City’s top uniformed police officer resigned amid accusations that he demanded sexual favors from a subordinate in exchange for large sums of overtime pay.
“The NYPD takes all allegations of sexual misconduct seriously, and will thoroughly investigate this matter,” according to a statement Saturday from the New York City Police Department. Commissioner Jessica Tisch accepted the resignation on Friday night.
