A former cop whose dealings with a Queens brothel were discovered last year pleaded guilty to federal charges yesterday. Dennis Kim, who resigned from the 109th Precinct this week, told a judge that he used information on a brothel's rivals to make "make many arrests...for drug offenses, possession of weapons, robbery, and prostitution-related crimes."

We've heard that things are going badly over at the New York Press, but that's no excuse for what we saw over on their site today. Remember the tragic story of Dennis Kim, the 22 year old poet who drowned in the Hudson two weeks ago trying to retrieve a book of his poems? The Press's JR Taylor follows up on the story, and goes sort of nuts insulting the dead-- first accusing him of being a pedophile, and then calling him "lame" and a "dead creep"-- all this for possibly having slept with a girl five years younger than himself:

An aspiring poet from Bay Ridge died yesterday after he jumped into the Hudson River near Christopher Street. Dennis Kim was 22, and died trying to retrieve his bookbag, apparently containing a book of him poems and a copy of Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer. After he jumped in, he swam out thirty feet into the river and managed to get the bag, but was overcome by the current as he tried to make it back to the pier. The Daily News has the whole heartbreaking story.
