NYPD officers face rape charges

NEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors say two New York City police officers will face charges of rape, burglary and evidence tampering in connection with an attack on a Manhattan woman.
Officers Kenneth Moreno and Franklin Mata are accused of assaulting an intoxicated woman they had escorted home in December.

The officers were initially responding to a 911 call from a taxi driver complaining that the woman had gotten sick in his cab.

Officer Franklin Mata outside court on Tuesday. He acted as a lookout while Moreno committed the crime, prosecutors said.

Two city cops were charged Tuesday with raping a drunken woman they escorted home to her Manhattan apartment.

Officer Kenneth Moreno, 41, a 17-year NYPD veteran, raped the woman in her E. 13th St. apartment while his partner, Franklin Mata, 27, acted as a lookout and misled radio dispatchers, prosecutors said.

"(Mata) knew his partner was having sex with a semiconscious woman," Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said.

----------

Video surveillance shows the officers helping the visibly intoxicated woman into her building at 1.10 a.m.

They are seen leaving her apartment about seven minutes later, but returned a second time for 17 minutes at about 2.50 a.m.

They then return a third time just before 3 a.m., with a key, and stay inside the building for 34 minutes
