Ex-NYPD Community Affairs cop gets five years prison for sex attacks

A judge had harsh words today for a disgraced ex-NYPD community affairs cop convicted in a spree of on-the-job sex abuses, giving him five years prison, and a lecture for having “tarnished” his badge.

“Mr. Rosario, the truth DID come out,” Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Daniel FitzGerald said, after defendant Wilfredo Rosario tried to claim that “one day, the truth will come out.”

The rotund and unrepentant ex-cop was convicted in June of groping attacks, from 2004 and 2008, on two women he’d offered to “help” with after-school program paperwork for their kids.

The five-year sentence handed down today also covers his January conviction for soliciting oral sex from a high school girl he was issuing a summons to in Riverside Park.

Rosario’s fourth and most serious charge — that he’d raped a woman in 2003 — was dismissed today because that alleged victim was declining to cooperate with prosecutors, according to assistant district attorney Artie McConnell.

“He’s a selfish, narcissistic predator,” who has violated the public’s trust, McConnell told the judge of Rosario, who’d worked and prowled for victims in Washington Heights.

“You have stained the reputation of every decent, hardworking police officer on the force,” agreed the judge.

“You’ve made every officer’s job that much more difficult by driving a wedge of mistrust between him and every citizen he needs to deal with,” the judge added.

Rosario’s lawyer, Steven Fusfeld, countered that Rosario, the father of five children by two wives, is a “family man” who served his country bravely as a Marine in Desert Storm. He intends to appeal the convictions, the lawyer said.

Highlights from Rosario’s trials included details that Rosario misspelled his own nickname, “BUDDAH,” and engaged in an icky, post-attack telephone dialogue with one victim, recorded by the authorities.

“You feel bad talking to me?” he told the woman in Spanish, demanding she tell him, “Si, Papi!” in an oozing tone he apparently thought was seductive.

“If you want to give it to me, you give it to me, you understand me, darling,” he crooned.

“Your mind, you will give me that first. You understand me? Then later, when you feel good, you will the body, too. You will give me that body,” he told the victim.

“He’s disgusting,” one female juror summed it up to reporters in June.
