NEW YORK (PIX11) — An NYPD recruit is accused of raping a woman at a Queens motel two months ago, authorities said Thursday.
Ahmed Elnahtawy, 24, was arrested Thursday morning at the Police Academy in Queens and charged with rape, forcible touching, and sexual abuse, police said.
The recruit allegedly grabbed her by the head and forced her to perform a sex act at the Woodside Motor Inn on Queens Boulevard between Oct. 4 and Oct. 5, according to the criminal complaint.
The victim was crying and repeatedly said “No” and “Stop” during the incident, prosecutors said.
Elnahtawy pleaded not guilty at his arraignment and is out on supervised release. He is due back in court on Jan. 12. His attorney could not be reached on Thursday.
Last month, NYPD Officer Ndegnior Kpan, 27, was arrested for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl he was having a relationship with, authorities said.
Kpan allegedly had sex with the girl in his apartment on Hunter Avenue in the Bronx between Oct 1 and Oct. 2, according to the criminal complaint.
The teen told investigators about their relationship after the two got into a fight at his apartment on the night of Nov. 17, police said.
The cop told the girl to leave after she accused him of being drunk. When she didn’t, Kpan then allegedly dragged the teen out of the apartment by her ankles, according to the complaint.
The girl suffered rug burns and abrasions to her back and hands after she was dragged into the hallway, prosecutors said. She was taken to the hospital for treatment.
The cop has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The case is ongoing.
