New York, January 2: Law enforcement officers on Thursday searched the home of a former top New York City police official who resigned late last month after being accused of demanding sex from a subordinate in exchange for opportunities to earn extra pay. Authorities executed search warrants at several locations, including the home of Jeffrey Maddrey, the highest-ranking uniformed officer in the NYPD, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said.

Maddrey's accuser was the NYPD's top earner in fiscal year 2024, according to payroll data, pulling in more than USD 4,00,000. More than half was overtime pay. In her federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint, she claimed Maddrey engaged in “quid pro quo sexual harassment” by coercing her to “perform unwanted sexual favours in exchange for overtime opportunities.” US: NYPD Officers Decline CPR for Homeless Black Man After Ex-Marine Put Him on Chokehold in Subway Amid Violent Outburst in Subway, Video Surfaces.

Maddrey, through his lawyer, described it as a “consensual, adult relationship” and denied allegations of sexual misconduct. Tisch directed questions to the US Attorney's office, which declined to comment.
