Edgar Diaz, 28, allegedly targeted women on the hooker Web site Backpage.com at least twice and met up with them pretending to be an undercover cop, a source said.
He then allegedly coerced the prostitutes into sex acts, the source added.
Diaz was arrested after picking up a girl at the Queens Motel Inn on Aug. 6 at about 1 a.m. while wearing an NYPD T-shirt, a Criminal Court complaint states.
Once the victim got into his 2005 Nissan, he flashed a phony gold shield and said, “You remind me of my sister,” records state.
“I can call off the other officers and give you a break,” he allegedly said. He went to the woman’s room, dropped his pants and said, “I will take care of you, but you have to comply,” court papers state.
Diaz then forced the woman to have sex with him, cops said.
In 2012, another prostitute reported Diaz to police but she stopped cooperating when she found out he wasn’t a real cop, sources said.
Police now fear other women believe he’s a cop and they want anyone who has dealt with him to come forward, sources added.
