"This defendant is accused of raping a woman who repeatedly told him to stop, and we will seek to hold him fully accountable. No one is above the law, especially those who are sworn to uphold it."
"According to investigators, Daheem Morris, 27, previously worked at the NYPD's 73rd Precinct in Brownsville and was most recently assigned to Police Service Area 1, which patrols New York City Housing Authority developments in Brooklyn. Authorities said he attended the same party as the woman on Sept. 28, 2025."
"The woman told investigators that she attempted to push Morris away and that he ignored her repeated pleas to stop. Later that day, she confided in her cousin about the alleged assault."
Daheem Morris, a 27-year-old NYPD officer previously assigned to the 73rd Precinct in Brownsville and later to Police Service Area 1, was charged with third-degree rape, sexual abuse, forcible touching, and sexual misconduct. The alleged victim reported that Morris raped her in a vehicle following a party on September 28, 2025. The two had known each other for approximately two years through mutual friends. The woman stated she repeatedly told Morris to stop and attempted to push him away, but he ignored her pleas. She disclosed the alleged assault to her cousin later that day. The NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau investigated the case. Morris was arraigned before Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Donald Leo and released without bail, with a return court date set for May 8, 2026. The case is being prosecuted by the District Attorney's Special Victims Bureau.
