An NYPD traffic agent has been arrested on a rape charge, police said yesterday.
A female acquaintance who went on a date with Charles Taylor, 25, of The Bronx, Sunday night told a relative the parking-enforcement worker slipped a drug in her drink while they chatted at Junior’s cheesecake restaurant in Brooklyn, sources said.
The alleged victim said Taylor drove her around, and she wasn’t sure where she was when he took her into an apartment building and raped her, sources added.
The accuser and the alleged attacker had also exchanged texts for at least a week, sources said.
Taylor joined the NYPD’s traffic division in 2008 and was responsible for writing parking summonses and directing traffic in Brooklyn South. Taylor does not carry a gun or handcuffs. “He’s not a law-enforcement officer,” one source said.Cops from the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau arrested the NYPD employee in Brooklyn Heights Tuesday. He was suspended without pay and was awaiting arraignment last night, police said.
