NEW YORK, NY - A white New York Police Department (NYPD) precinct commander allegedly groped a black female officer, telling the woman, "I want to make biracial babies with you," as stated in a lawsuit.
The accuser, identified in the Bronx Supreme Court filing as N.T., tried to avoid being alone with Inspector Jeremy Scheublin for more than a year because of "creepy" comments he previously made at the NYPD's 46th Precinct stationhouse in Fordham Heights, the Bronx, the New York Post reported.
N.T., who typically works desk duty, was caught by surprise on January 1, 2025, when Scheublin called her into his office for a meeting about firearms training, and it was just the two of them.
He denied her request to work patrol duty, then "tried to place his hand on [her] neck," according to the legal filing against Scheublin and the city. When she knocked his hand away, Scheublin allegedly said, "I don't know whether to kiss or choke you," she claimed in the lawsuit.
She told him to "stop," but he allegedly grabbed her butt, while sneering, "Oh, you are strong. That's the type of woman I like," she claimed in the complaint.
Scheublin then allegedly lifted her off the ground and tossed her onto what officers called the "casting couch," the woman told The Post. "He scoops me up, and then he slams me on the couch," the 34-year-old woman told The Post in an exclusive interview.
"Now he's on top of me. I got my hands up to cover my mouth, and he's trying to kiss me on my mouth," she claimed, adding that she turned her head.
"So he kisses me on the left side of my cheek, like kissing me and trying to push his face to get my mouth to break the barrier," she said. That's when Scheublin made the comment about "biracial babies," according to the lawsuit. "[She] believed Scheublin, who was wearing his service weapon, would rape her if she didn't fight him off," she said in the suit.
N.T. managed to get out from under Scheublin and regain her footing. She then kicked him "in the groin" and yelled, "Chill the f*ck out!" according to court documents.
During the struggle, a fellow officer called her phone, and the victim demanded that the cop come to the station house. N.T. claims Scheublin grabbed the device before continuing the assault. When it was over, the commander allegedly ordered her to stay put before telling her she "should wear sweats the next time she comes to his office," according to the lawsuit.
She immediately reported the incident to a lieutenant, who called the NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau. The following day, Scheublin suddenly offered her "lucrative specialized positions," such as Field Intelligence Officer and a job in the Domestic Violence Unit that would amount to $50,000 more a year.
She "understood the offers as an attempt to silence her regarding the assault," N.T. said. She turned all the offers down. Scheublin then allegedly warned her that "it didn't go well for the last person who made accusations against me," according to court papers.
Once the commander realized she reported him to Internal Affairs for sexual assault and harassment, he allegedly began to retaliate against her by putting her on shifts starting at 3 a.m., despite her having young children, she claimed.
Internal Affairs asked the alleged victim to make a recorded call to Scheublin, but he didn't answer and had another officer call her back instead. Scheublin was promoted despite the allegation and transferred on January 12 of this year, more than a year after the incident. Now, he is assigned to the Patrol Borough Bronx division.
Scheublin received a Man of the Year award on Tuesday, March 3, from the 1st Annual Brian Mulkeen Awards Dinner at an event in the Bronx. Mulkeen was a Bronx officer who was killed by friendly fire while taking down a drug suspect in 2019.
Scheublin remains on duty. The Bronx DA is investigating, but refused to confirm or deny the probe. The case could warrant criminal charges, said John Scola, the attorney representing N.T.
"The NYPD knew he committed a violent sex crime against one of its own officers, referred the case to the Bronx District Attorney for possible prosecution, and still allowed him to remain on full duty with a weapon," he said. A NYPD spokesperson said the incident remains under investigation.
