Two New York city police officers have been charged with raping an 18-year-old girl while she was in custody in handcuffs.

Officers Eddie Martins and Richard Hall had arrested the alleged victim, who has identified herself on social media and in numerous media reports as Anna Chambers.

The pair arrested Ms Chambers for smoking marijuana in the car park of a Chipotle restaurant in Coney Island.

One of the officers is accused of raping her while both forced her to perform a sex act, it is claimed.

The cops have not denied that the incident took place, but are claiming the encounter was ‘consensual’.

This week they wrote to prosecutors urging them not to charge them and attemped to discredit Ms Chambers.

The letter mentions that the alleged victim has shared “provocative” selfies on social media since the allegations came to light.

Ms Chambers has hit out the suggestion the encounter was consensual, writing on Twitter: “Of course, only a cop could believe that a handcuffed teenager arrested for drug possession CANT WAIT to have sex with a police officer.”

Her lawyer Michael David told the New York Post: “‘She just wants everybody to know it’s an absolute lie that this was consensual.

“She was raped. She was viciously, brutally raped in handcuffs. It’s the truth.”
