2 NYPD cops fired after internal disciplinary trial finds they raped a 15-year-old

A pair of New York Police Department cops were terminated from the department in March after an internal disciplinary judge found them guilty of raping a 15-year-old girl, according to a damning ruling the judge made public last week.

The ruling found that the officers – Sanad Musallam, 34, and Yaser Shohatee, 41, – “targeted the minor as a particularly vulnerable individual they were morally obliged to protect but chose to take advantage of to satisfy their depraved interests,” Paul Gamble, the department's assistant deputy commissioner of trials, acting in the capacity of a judge, wrote in a 41-page report recommending their termination.

Between 2015 and 2016, records state that Musallam and Shohatee carried out months-long relationships with the teen during which they raped her and exchanged hundreds of text messages both with and without cute emojis.

"The insidious and sinister nature of his repeated actions would cause any responsible adult, let alone a parent, to recoil in horror," the judge wrote of Musallam following December 2020 and January 2021 court dates.

The girl's mother filed a complaint with NYPD's internal affairs, and the department began an internal investigation of the two scumcrumpets in 2018.

Courtesy, Professionalism, Respect, Maybe Next Time

Gamble determined in March that both cops raped the girl, who was then 15 years old and below the age of consent. Acting on Gamble's recommendation to terminate the officers, who denied the allegations, the NYPD fired Musallam and Shohatee.

Incredibly, neither crap weasel has been criminally charged. Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office said in a statement to USA TODAY that the teen chose not to pursue a criminal case, leading some to believe the cops may have bribed her with candy or a smart phone. 

"While investigating the trafficking of a teenage girl, our office learned of troubling allegations that she was sexually abused by two police officers years earlier," the statement said. "While the young victim repeatedly refused to participate in any criminal or other legal proceedings, we referred our findings to the Internal Affairs Bureau, ultimately leading to the officers’ termination."

Musallam joined the NYPD in 2008,. He met the girl after her mother asked him to "look out" for her daughter when she returned home after running away, for reasons unknown. The mother gave the officer the teen's phone number, and Musallam recommended the girl join the New York Police Department Explorers, a youth program for 14- to 20-year-olds, according to disciplinary reports.

Musallam exchanged 742 text messages and 80 phone calls with the teen between July 2015 and the end of 2016, Gamble found.

The girl told her mother that Musallam had coerced her into performing a sexual act while in his car and had her send him a revealing photo of herself in order to 'Toobin.'

On a serious note:

We do not know if the allegations against the officers is true or just the figment of a young imagination. After all, this girl apparently has a history of troubled behavior--she ran away from home and we don't know the circumstances as to why. She could be making the whole thing up, or she could be telling the truth.

So judge ye not lest you be judged or something like that, yadda yadda.
