Teen details how NYPD cops tried to silence her after rape

The teenager who claims she was raped by two NYPD detectives while under arrest detailed to The Post Friday how cops barged into her hospital room and “aggressively” tried to coax her out of bringing assault charges against their colleagues.

The victim revealed how the officers allegedly tried to intimidate her at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn the night she was allegedly raped — with one claiming the accused sex criminals were not even cops.

“At least nine officers showed up to the hospital trying to intimidate me and my mom,” said the 19-year-old woman, who goes by the name Anna Chambers.

“I was sitting in the room by myself . . . They were pressing me, saying things like, ‘Oh, this isn’t the first time you’re having an encounter with the police.’”

Chambers, who was 18 at the time, went to the hospital with her mom to get a rape kit after the two detectives allegedly forced her to perform oral sex and one of them raped her in the back of a police van while she was handcuffed on Sept. 15.

During the hospital visit, she claims a number of officers from the 60th Precinct tried to convince her to change her story. One officer in particular spoke her native Russian and was assertive about her withdrawing the allegations against the two detectives, Eddie Martins and Richard Hall.

“These are not police,” she quoted the officer as saying about the alleged rapists.

Chambers said she was shocked at the police treatment and she choked back tears while describing her ordeal.

“I was bawling my eyes out,” Chambers said. “The way they were speaking with me was so rude and aggressive.”

The NYPD said Friday it has opened an investigation into the woman’s claims about the hospital visit.

The victim gave her account of the ­alleged bullying after a lawyer for one of the accused detectives argued that her story was inconsistent.

Martins’ lawyer, Mark Bederow, said Chambers’ story didn’t add up and that her lawyer, Michael David, has “repeatedly contradicted” her sworn claims.

“Nothing corroborates the sensational allegations made by a plaintiff’s lawyer more than two months after the incident,” Bederow said. “She was interviewed by IAB [the Internal Affairs Bureau] on the evening of September 16. IAB sought a warrant for handcuffs the following day.”

Chambers, however, told The Post that she divulged the information to Internal Affairs after IAB officers visited her home days after the alleged attack.

“They came to me,” Chambers said. “My father was right there, too. I told them everything that happened. They did nothing.”

Bederow questioned why it took Chambers’ lawyer until this week to come forward with the allegations of ­intimidation by officers.

David responded that he had learned about the incident only 10 days ago when Chambers’ mother recounted the disturbing details to him.

David reiterated that his client’s story was consistent and that the tactics by the defense were similar to those allegedly deployed by cops in the hospital.

“The defense is making up the contradictions to further bully and intimidate the rape victim,” David said.

Bederow retorted that David has ­“repeatedly contradicted the sworn claims of his client as he seeks to promote [a] lawsuit.”

Asked about the new allegations, an NYPD spokesman, Sgt Brendan Ryan, said the entire incident is under investigation by IAB.

Martins, 37, and Hall, 33, have admitted engaging in sexual acts with Chambers while on the job, but claimed it was consensual. The two detectives resigned from the NYPD on Nov. 6. They pleaded not guilty to a 50-count indictment.
