NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey Resigns Amid Sexual Misconduct Allegations from Lieutenant Quathisha Epps, Appointing John Chell as Interim Chief
Dec 21, 2024, 10:27 PM
Jeffrey Maddrey, the Chief of Department of the New York Police Department (NYPD), resigned on December 21, 2024, amid serious allegations of sexual misconduct. Reports indicate that Maddrey allegedly demanded sexual favors from Lieutenant Quathisha Epps in exchange for overtime pay, including a specific request for her to 'kiss his penis.' Epps, who reportedly earned over $400,000 in overtime, is said to have faced coercion regarding her employment conditions at NYPD headquarters. Following Maddrey's resignation, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch appointed John Chell as the interim Chief of Department. The Manhattan District Attorney's office has initiated an investigation into the allegations against Maddrey, with a spokesperson describing the claims as 'extremely serious and disturbing.' This incident adds to a series of scandals affecting the NYPD and raises concerns about the department's leadership under Mayor Eric Adams, who has faced criticism for his handling of the situation and his previous support for Maddrey.
