DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — A New York City Police Officer has been arraigned on charges of rape and related sex offenses following a party in Brooklyn.
According to a press release from the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office, the defendant, Daheem Morris, 27, was formerly assigned to the 73rd Precinct in Brownsville. Most recently, he worked in the Police Service Area 1, which patrols New York City Housing Authority developments within Brooklyn.
Morris was arraigned before Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Donald Leo on an indictment in which he is charged with third-degree rape, third-degree sexual abuse, forcible touching and sexual misconduct. He was released without bail and ordered to return to court on May 8, 2026.
According to the investigation, on Sept. 28, 2025, Morris and his victim, who had known each other for roughly two years and shared mutual friends, attended the same party.
Following the gathering, the victim was allegedly alone in a vehicle with Morris. It is alleged that he engaged in sexual intercourse with her while she repeatedly told him to stop and attempted to push him away.
The victim disclosed the incident to her cousin later that same day, and the case was investigated by detectives assigned to the New York City Police Department’s Internal Affairs Bureau.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Christina Oddo of the District Attorney’s Special Victims Bureau, under the supervision of Bureau Chief Assistant District Attorney Miss Gregory.
