A 19-year-old woman who claims she was raped by two NYPD detectives in the back of their van after being arrested has described for the first time how nine others visited her in hospital to try to bully her out of reporting them.
Anna Chambers was 18 when she was arrested in Brooklyn on September 15 after being found smoking marijuana in her car with two male friends.
NYPD detectives Eddie Martins, 33, and Richard Hall, 37, took her into their police van after finding her with the drugs.
She claims that once she was in the van, they forced her to perform oral sex on them while handcuffed and then took turns raping her then let her go.
The men have been charged with a string of offenses including rape and aware awaiting their next court date. They admit engaging in sexual activity but say the sex was consensual.
After the alleged attack, Chambers went to Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn to be tested with a rape kit.
It is there that she says nine other officers arrived and tried to bully her out of reporting their colleagues’ alleged crime.
On Saturday, she described their visit for the first time in her own words.
‘At least nine officers showed up to the hospital trying to intimidate me and my mom.
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.”
‘I was bawling my eyes out. The way they were speaking with me was so rude and aggressive,’ she told The New York Post.
Chambers says the men spoke in her native Russian to try to build a rapport with her and that they claimed Martins and Hall were not police officers.
Days later, she claims she described the hospital visit to the Internal Affairs Bureau.
