The defendant is rightly punished with a prison sentence for disgracing his badge, violating the public trust in the community he was sworn to serve, and facilitating the victimization of vulnerable women, all for his own self-satisfaction, Breon Peace, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said in a statement.
The charges against Mr. Peiffer, part of a 14-count indictment, represented an important thread in a larger takedown of a sex-trafficking ring and a prostitution network based in Queens and across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Prosectors in Brooklyn said the case demonstrated their commitment to rooting out corruption and protecting sex-trafficking victims.
