Rikers Officer's Sexual Assault Scandal: DOCCS Re-evaluates Civil Claims
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Attorney Urges DOCCS to Re-evaluate Handling of Civil Sexual Assault Claims: A Rikers Island Corrections Officer, Anthony Martin Junior, was allowed to continue working despite multiple allegations of sexual assault. The attorney representing the women who allege assault argues that earlier investigations could have prevented further harm. She suggests cross-referencing names from civil lawsuits with the current employee roster. The alleged abuse came to light following the passage of the Adult Survivors’ Act, which created a one-year window for filing sexual assault lawsuits. A two thousand twenty-four investigation found that sixty percent of these cases in New York Citys state supreme court involved a pattern of alleged sexual assault at Rikers spanning decades.
