Police in Queens arrested off-duty corrections officer James Robinson today and charged him with rape, assault and wrongful imprisonment. Details on the charges are still scant but a source tells us the charges are "domestic."

Robinson, 52, is a 27-year New York City Department of Corrections veteran assigned to the investigations division, where he makes $84,772 annually. He has been suspended indefinitely without pay, the DOC tells us. The NYPD had nothing to share regarding the case when we called.

More information as it becomes available.
