Cops Gone Wild Part 4: The Buy A Child, Pimp A Child Edition

A married, father of three, 14-year New York City police department veteran, was allowed to make a cushy deal with Queens prosecutors last week for his role in a heinous crime.

The NYPD detective teamed with a prostitute, and purchased a 13 year old runaway for $500. The pair then pimped the child out at various parties. According to the NY Daily News, the two adults "were charged with kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, endangering the welfare of a child and promoting prostitution." However, they "were allowed to plead guilty to attempted kidnapping."

For their dastardly crimes, they were each sentenced to three-and-a-half years of jail time.

[SIDEBAR: I have no words for this! However, I will be contacting my state senator this week to find out how something like this could happen! (I suggest that you do the same). Three-and-a-half years???? What kind of prosecutor & judge would allow such a slight slap on the wrist for buying, selling, and pimping a child????]
