A married NYPD sergeant knocked up his rookie cop driver — while his own wife was pregnant — but the fling didn’t violate any departmental regulations, The Post has learned.
Sgt. Marcy Velez, 44, of the Bronx’s 45th Precinct had the affair with his subordinate officer starting in 2019 when she was in her early 20s, fresh out of the academy and selected to work as his driver, sources familiar with the matter said.
She eventually wanted to break it off, but Velez wouldn’t allow it, sources said — and a complaint was filed with the Internal Affairs Bureau alleging she felt trapped in the relationship.
During IAB’s probe in early 2020, the female officer became pregnant with Velez’s child — and then denied everything when investigators approached her.
The cop’s lack of cooperation led IAB to drop the case without any disciplinary action, though experts say it’s common for female cops in the NYPD to not cooperate with sexual harassment probes out of fear of retaliation.
