Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch ousted NYPD Chief of Internal Affairs Miguel Iglesias on Saturday night amid sexual misconduct accusations involving former Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey that led to a massive shakeup in departmental leadership precipitated by Maddrey’s resignation.
The top cop announced that Iglesias had been “relieved” of his duties mere hours after disturbing details surrounding Maddrey came to light. According to a report from the New York Post, Maddrey — while chief of department, the highest-ranking NYPD uniformed member — allegedly preyed upon a financially troubled lieutenant, Quathisha Epps, demanding sexual favors in exchange for more overtime in order to help pay for mounting bills.
