Judge orders reporter to turn over Schoolcraft’s documents

A Manhattan federal judge has ordered former Village Voice reporter Graham Rayman to turn over at least some of the documents and e-mails he used as sources for his book about NYPD whistleblower cop Adrian Schoolcraft.

In a win for the de Blasio administration, Judge Robert Sweet’s decision Tuesday compels “The NYPD Tapes” author Rayman to turn over some – but not all – of the documents that city lawyers defending a lawsuit filed by Schoolcraft had subpoenaed.

The items include statements by Schoolcraft, e-mails that the Brooklyn cop sent Rayman and a memo from Schoolcraft regarding “NYPD misconduct.”

Schoolcraft filed a $50 million lawsuit in 2010 against the city alleging he was forced to spend time in a mental ward after saying cops at the 81st Precinct fudged crime stats.

His ex-commander, Deputy Inspector Steven Mauriello, filed a $2 million counterclaim, alleging Schoolcraft drummed up bogus complaints about wrongdoing at the 81st because he wanted to punish him.

Rayman had claimed he was protected from turning over the documents by “reporter’s privilege” under First Amendment rights.

His lawyer did not return messages.
