NYPD investigating fi re outside Park
Slope synagogue on high holy day
BY AIDAN GRAHAM
Police are investigating the events surrounding
a burning backpack found
outside of a Park Slope synagogue during
Yom Kippur on Wednesday.
The smoldering luggage was discovered
on the steps of the Park Slope
Jewish Center near Eighth Avenue
and 14th Street shortly before 1 am on
Oct. 9 — during the holiest day of the
Jewish religion, according to police.
Firefi ghters arrived on the scene
and extinguished the mini-inferno,
which did not result in any injuries,
cops said.
Police released surveillance footage
of a possible arsonist, and the department’s
Hate Crime Task Force has
been notifi ed about the incident, according
to a spokesman.
Crimes with anti-Semitic motivations
have risen by around 30 percent
year-to-date throughout this city, according
to Police Department statistics.
In an effort to prevent more hate
crimes during the Jewish holy day, the
police department had deployed over
130 additional offi cers at Jewish religious
institutions city-wide, more than
a quarter of whom have been stationed

Terrance Monahan.
“We’re going to have a very large
presence out in Brooklyn and throughout
the city tonight through Yom Kippur,”
said Monahan at an unrelated
press conference on Oct. 8.
Wrist slap for ‘rape’ cops
BY ROSE ADAMS
Two disgraced former narcotics detectives
were slapped with fi ve years’
probation after trading freedom for
sex with an 18-year-old suspect in Gravesend.
Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice
Danny Chun sentenced the defendants,
Eddie Martins, 39, and Richard Hall,
34, on Friday, following their guilty
plea in August to two counts of thirddegree
bribe receiving and nine counts
of offi cial misconduct, according to
District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.
Martins and Hall were members
of the Police Department’s Brooklyn
South Narcotics team when they cuffed
the teenage victim in Gravesend in
September 2017, claiming they spotted
marijuana and two prescription pills
in her car. The detectives then offered
to release the woman in exchange for
sexual favors , which they accepted in
the back of their police van parked in
Calvert Vaux Park, according to the
DA’s offi ce.
The victim — who goes by the pseudonym
Anna Chambers — accused the
detectives of rape, but the district attorney
dropped the rape changes the
following March , citing “serious credibility
issues,” and claiming that Chambers’
testimony contained a “series of
false, misleading, and inconsistent
statements about the facts of the case,”
said Oren Yaniv, a spokesman for the
district attorney’s offi ce.
Investigators matched DNA recovered
from the victim’s body to both
Martins and Hall, and nearby video
surveillance shows the woman exiting
the police van about 40 minutes after
her arrest, prosecutors claim.
Chambers’ attorney slammed the
DA for dropping the rape charges, arguing
that the accusations against
Chambers were part of a smear campaign
against his client, and that the
hard evidence of the case spoke for itself,
Gothamist reported .
“If you’re arrested and kidnapped
in a van with two large offi cers with
guns, there’s no consent. They’re getting
away with rape,” said Michael David.
“It sends a horrible message to victims
of police sexual misconduct.”
