Rikers corrections officer cleared of sex abuse charge breaks silence after 'biggest embarrassment' of his life: 'Crying, crying, crying'

"When I was cleared, I just started crying, crying, crying. I didn't cry during the whole trial but when that happened, I just started crying."

"That was the biggest embarrassment of my life. I was in a pen incarcerated asking God why did this happen to me?"

"She said I put my hands on her boobs and her vagina, and that I spanked her ass. I adamantly denied it all."

"Prosecutors offered me a plea deal to drop the case to disorderly conduct if I pled guilty, but I wanted to clear my name in trial."
