The feds are lining up star witnesses in their sex-for-overtime case against ex-NYPD boss Jeffrey Maddrey — including a female detective he allegedly slept with and a cop who may have removed K-Y jelly and other evidence from his office, a source told The Post.
A third, unidentified woman is believed to be another key witness against the disgraced police chief.
Top of the feds’ list is Detective Ada Reyes, who allegedly had an affair with the married Maddrey. At the time he was the NYPD’s highest uniformed officer, until he was booted in December following The Post’s exclusive expose on another underling, Lt. Quathisha Epps, who claimed Maddrey coerced her into having sex with him for years.
The Manhattan U.S. Attorney launched its probe after Epps — who resigned — shortly after she filed a federal complaint accusing Maddrey of paying her eye-popping amounts of overtime for sexual favors.
Epps last year told The Post in shocking detail how in June 2023 Maddrey, 54, leaned her over a couch in his office, pulled a jar of K-Y Jelly out of a nearby locker and used it to have anal sex with her. She had sex with Maddery at One Police Plaza about 10 times, she said.
Maddrey has repeatedly insisted his sexual relationship with Epps, 52, was consensual.
Reyes, 42, who worked in a domestic violence unit at the NYPD, allegedly stayed in a Lower East Side apartment owned by Epps’ family on Maddrey’s orders so he “could visit her there,” a law enforcement source said.
Maddrey had Epps buy things – such as towels and other household goods — for Reyes with the overtime she was paid, Epps told The Post last year. She confirmed that Maddrey asked her to allow Epps to stay in the apartment owned by her family. She described Reyes as Maddrey’s “girlfriend.” --->READ MORE HERE
The right-hand man to disgraced former NYPD chief of department Jeffrey Maddrey was fired from the job after he was caught up in the same sex-for-overtime scandal that sank his boss, police and sources told The Post Thursday.
Deputy Chief Paul Saraceno was pushed out this month after he allegedly signed off on scores of old overtime slips for then-Lt. Quathisha Epps, who was allegedly involved in a sex-for-bonus bucks quid-pro-quo with Maddrey, a law enforcement source said.
Epps, who was the department’s top OT earner to the tune of $403,515 last year, exited the NYPD last year after she accused Maddrey of coercing her into sex — a bombshell claim first reported on by The Post.
Maddrey stepped down soon after he was contacted about Epps’ claims, which included forcing her to have sex with him at NYPD headquarters.
Saraceno allegedly grabbed up a “bunch of overtime slips from (Epps) in November that were from earlier in 2024 and backdating more than 170 of them,” the source said.
The deputy chief allegedly signed off on the slips even though he was aware there was an active investigation into the astronomical extra pay for Epps, according to the source.
Saraceno put his retirement papers in at the pension board Thursday, according to an internal police document obtained by The Post.
He left under a state clause enacted in 2011 that allows NYPD members to retire if they are dismissed with 20 years or more on the job. READ MORE HERE
