Bayside firefighter cuffed in
alleged sexual assault
BY ROBERT POZARYCKI
A New York City firefighter wound up in handcuffs
on the afternoon of Friday, July 23, on charges that he
sexually assaulted his ex-girlfriend at her Queens home
earlier this month.
James P. Kennedy, 36, was booked at the111th Precinctin
Bayside on July 23 in connection with the alleged incident,
which occurred within the precinct’s confines on
July 19.
According to law enforcement sources, Kennedy was
with his 34-year-old former girlfriend at her residence
that day when he began touching her and making advances.
When she spurned them, police said, Kennedy allegedly
groped her genitalia with his hand and penetrated her.
He allegedly then refused to let her leave the apartment
when she sought to get away from him.
The woman later reported the incident to the 111th
Precinct, which conducted an investigation that led to
Kennedy’s arrest Friday. He was charged with sex abuse,
unlawful imprisonment, assault and harassment.
Schneps Media reached out to the Fire Department for
comment about the arrest, and is awaiting a response.
