In the lawsuit, filed in the Eastern District of New York on Monday, Rachlin alleges that in mid-2020 NYPD officials cut off her access to the North Brooklyn precincts her nonprofit serves and told precinct leaders not to work with her.
Soon afterward, the lawsuit claims, confidential information about her alleged sexual assault was circulated to community advocates, mixed in with misinformation about the investigation and the notion that she fabricated the attack and falsely accused a Black man of rape.
Those same claims later surfaced in two anonymous letters sent to police officials, politicians and others, the lawsuit alleges.
One of the letters referred to Rachlin as a “wolf in Sheep’s clothing,” who deployed her “feminine charm to gain the trust of unsuspecting officers.” The other included specifics of her sexual assault, alongside inaccuracies about why her case was closed.
“Ms. Rachlin was willing to send another innocent African American man to jail for her own gain. What a disgrace!” the letter reads.
Can’t wait for the SVU episode about this specific thing, “Ripped from the Headlines!” Mariska Hargitay playing up the “Not all cops…” angle and Iced T acting surprised at the depravity of the world. All wrapped up in less than 45 mins. Lol. Jk. Dick wolf would never betray the cops.
I love how stabler was the most realistic cop depicted on SVU, cause he had a massive attitude problem, loved to go leap to violence, and everyone just handwaved and covered it up and pretended it didnt happen with no repercussions.
Sounds about like real life.
