WaEx: Two former New York City police officers are suing the New York Post for $5 million over a 2016 article alleging that they had group sex with a prostitute on a plane.
The article centered around a plane ride from Las Vegas to New York on Super Bowl weekend in 2013. On the private flight were Jona Rechnitz and Jeremy Reichberg, both donors of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. Also onboard was Reichberg’s friend, Marco Franco, a prostitute named Gabi Grecko, former NYPD Deputy Inspector James Grant, and former NYPD detective Mike Milici.
Prosecutors said that Grant and the others “took advantage of (Grecko’s) services during the trip,” alleging that it was an example of the bribes Rechnitz and Reichberg would offer.
Grecko was featured in an interview with the New York Post, with the story containing explicit details about the flight. In a photo from the trip, Grecko is seen wearing skimpy stewardess costume. She said that she performed oral sex on the men and had sex with some of them at the same time.
The defamation lawsuit, filed Sunday in federal court, alleges that the New York Post was incorrect about the facts of the flight, with both Milici and Grant claiming to the New York Daily News that they didn’t have group sex aboard the flight.
“Never did Jimmy and me get naked on a plane and have group sex in front of other men,” Milici said.
“Does it make sense two guys like Mike and me would get naked and do these crazy things?” Grant said. more here
Well maybe they didn’t get F’ed while on the plane, but they did shortly after through the post article.
If the Post has any hard, as in documents, photos, or videos, evidence, they will need to give it to plaintiffs, and that should happen in the next few months. If the Post has nothing, its screwed. The flights occupants won’t help them, either will any pilots or crew. Unless the Post has real evidence, the plaintiffs and their lawyer are due for a hefty payday.
The post is a POS. Just like the NYT.
Makes sense to me,
