NYC Cop Arrested For Harassing An Albany Minor

Albany police have arrested an NYC cop, saying he followed an 11-year-old girl to school and attempted to get her into his truck. Police say Deodhram Singh stopped his truck alongside her, allegedly asking her "are you young?" and "do you want to make $100?" She ran into her grandparents' house, and her grandfather followed the truck to get Singh's license plate number. Singh claimed he was "self employed" when he was arrested, but the Department of Criminal Justice Services learned his real profession after Albany police sent them his fingerprints. He has been charged with harassment and endangering the welfare of a child.

PTG in nyc

Does he get his promotion before or after getting suspended with full pay?

ive kicked many girls out of my bed for just sitting there like a corpse, i cant imagine how anybody could get a kick out of hurting or forcing someone esp a minor into a sex act.

the fact that hes a cop and 38 and way out his territory means hes done this many times all over the eastern area.

and he might get away with it since it seems to be a he said she said case, with pat lynch defending him in the media at all costs he will win his case, patlynch will claim the girl was mistaken, the girl was dressed provocatively, patlynch will claim that the girl is unreliable from a broken family

and has a history of histrionic behavor and false accusations, pat lynch were are you?

Considering he's 38 and an NYPD officer, someone better be looking into his background. One usually doesn't become a brand new sex offender at that age.

The whole "do you want to make $100?" seldom ends on a positive note.

Regardless of his job, if convicted, life/without. No reason to ever let him be amongst civilization.

Just when you thought the NYPD had all grounds covered, they go alil further. I was just starting to get used to their usual talents, you know, the rapes, murders, burglary and robbery, drug dealing, road rage, drunk driving, racial profiling, you know, the usual. But now we add "this" to their multi-tasks. Oh, and lets not forget brutalizing our u.s war veterans.

But where are the usual NYPD fanatics? Inoyourider, longarce ect

The only time I ever defend cops is for their on-the-job actions when people like you automatically side with the bad guys. You won't see any posts from me defending their off-duty crimes, sex assaults, DUI's, etc.

This guy is a scumbag and deserves the maximum penalty.

I don't defend pedophiles.

That's your chosen field, along with murderers, rapists, drug dealers...so long as they're a minority.

Speaking of which, this guy is a minority, did you have to flip a coin to decide your slant?

Or is he "not minority enough" (ie not black) for you presume his innocence?
