Federal authorities have arrested a 13-year veteran NYPD narcotics detective with violating the civil rights of three women through sexual misconduct.
Oscar Sandino was arrested Tuesday, May 18th.
He forced the girlfriend of a drug suspect to perform oral sex in a police station bathroom.
Prosecutors also allege that Oscar Sandino victimized at least two other women under similar circumstances. He has been removed from active duty since 2008, when the allegations of lewd conduct first arose.
In the summer of 2006, in connection with the arrest of another drug dealer, Sandino is accused of coercing a female cousin of the drug dealer to engage in sex acts with him based on threats he made concerning the lengthy prison sentence faced by the drug dealer.
More recently, in September 2009, Sandino allegedly engaged in lewd sexual behavior in front of a female arrestee and then forced her to raise her shirt to expose her upper body.
If convicted of all counts,Sandino faces a maximum sentence of three years imprisonment.
