IT’S A TRAVESTY: Convicted cop killer Ronell Wilson’s onetime prison guard Nancy Gonzalez (right) has now borne him a son. (

First, she tarnished her prison-guard badge by bearing the child of a cop killer in her care — then insulted the victim’s families by proudly naming the baby Justus.
Nancy Gonzalez, a federal correction officer charged for her trysts with Ronell Wilson at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, delivered Justus Liam Gonzalez at a Long Island hospital Thursday night.
The boy is healthy at 7 pounds, 4 ounces — but his name is an absolute insult, said one of the widows of the two undercover NYPD detectives Wilson killed in 2003.
“It’s a slap in the faces of Rodney, James and their families. They are making fun of us, and it’s very hurtful,” said Rose Nemorin-John, wife of slain James Nemorin.
Nemorin, along with his partner, Rodney Andrews, was shot at point-blank range during a Staten Island buy-and-bust operation.
Gonzalez’s sister insisted Justus was named after a character in the Bible.
“We always choose biblical names in our family. We are Christians,” she explained at the family’s home in Huntington Station, LI, where she declined to give her name.
“The name was already chosen prior to all of this coming out. We had different names out there, and that’s what we felt we wanted.”
In the Bible, Justus is linked to none other than Judas, the apostle who betrayed Jesus Christ. The biblical Justus was considered as a replacement for Judas as an apostle.
Now the baby’s name just serves as a reminder of the correction officer who was a disgrace to her position, law-enforcement officials said.
“If she wanted a name from the Bible, why not Satan?” said an investigator who worked on Wilson’s case.
“The only way that that would be an appropriate name is if he gets the death penalty and she goes to jail and doesn’t raise this kid.”
A stunned federal source added, “That’s blatantly disrespectful to law-enforcement professionals who put their lives on the line every day.”
Even Gonzalez’s sister said Nancy made a poor decision by carrying the death-penalty candidate’s baby.
“We are humans, and good people sometimes make bad choices, but that doesn’t make us bad people,” she said, adding that the baby’s name was a family decision and didn’t come to the mother alone.
