Prosecutors said the officers did not report the encounter and continued their patrol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About eight hours later, at about 4:50 a.m. on July 20, prosecutors said the officers returned to the building, used the stolen key to enter and found a woman engaged in a sex act with a customer. The customer ran away, leaving the woman naked and alone in the dark with the officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prosecutors said Colon acted as a lookout while McMillan stole money from the woman\u2019s purse and groped her breast and buttock. The woman then fled, and the officers returned to patrol before eventually going back to the stationhouse, according to the charging documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both resigned from the NYPD in March 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-edny\/pr\/two-former-nypd-officers-charged-federal-civil-rights-violations\">according<\/a> to the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Eastern District of New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The indictment charges both men with felony conspiracy against rights and willfully depriving the woman of her constitutional rights under color of law, a charge used when public officials are accused of violating someone\u2019s rights while acting in an official capacity. McMillan is also charged separately with deprivation of rights for the alleged sexual abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McMillan and Colon are under arrest. If convicted, each could face up to 10 years in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two former New York City police officers have been charged in federal court after prosecutors said they stole from and groped a sex worker while the officers were on duty in Queens.
