The Bronx precinct commander scandal
NYPD Inspector Jeremy Scheublin, former commanding officer of the Bronx's 46th Precinct, was indicted on rape, sexual abuse, and official misconduct charges after prosecutors say he assaulted a subordinate officer in his precinct office in January 2025, and the city had already paid $481,000 to settle eight prior lawsuits naming him. Two more officers at the same precinct sued his successor days later alleging sexual harassment, raising questions about whether NYPD lets commanders with long misconduct records keep their posts.
