Officer Anthony Martin Jr. is facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has denied.
A Rikers Island correction officer who had already been already accused of sexually assaulting at least two women while they were incarcerated is also accused of sexual misconduct by another former detainee in a new lawsuit filed against the city this month.
One of Martin Jr.’s other accusers filed a complaint with state prison officials in May 2021, while she was completing her sentence upstate, but city correction officials previously told Gothamist they have no record of the report or any subsequent investigation. Less than three years after that complaint, Martin Jr. was arrested andThe New York Daily News first reported on Brenner’s lawsuit and Martin’s arrest.
Martin Jr. has denied the allegations against him. Martin Jr.’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Brenner says in an affidavit that she was arrested while intoxicated in May 2023 and held in a unit at the women’s jail that provided counseling for drug treatment. A few weeks later, she says, she was assigned to a project with a few other women to organize old files, which Martin Jr. supervised.
Brenner says she eventually refused to participate any further in the “degrading and humiliating conduct” and pulled up her pants.
