NYPD Officer Under Investigation Over OnlyFans Account
An NYPD officer, Dannah Battino, is currently being investigated for potentially violating departmental regulations due to her undisclosed OnlyFans account. This probe is critical as it occurs within her two-year probationary period which followed her recent recruitment.
Guidelines for Disclosure of Income
The NYPD mandates that all officers must fully disclose their sources of income during the employment application process. Failure to comply with this protocol can result in termination, highlighting the department's strict adherence to transparency.
Details of the Investigation
The investigation into Officer Battino focuses on various aspects of her OnlyFans account, a platform commonly utilized by creators to post content for subscribers at a fee. Crucial factors under scrutiny include the last active period of the account and the income generated from it, as active accounts typically produce revenue, which might have remained unreported.
Defense of Privacy and Legal Conduct
In defense of Officer Battino, Patrick Hendry, President of the Police Benevolent Association, emphasized that personal activities not affecting official duties or violating laws should remain private. Hendry criticized the public disclosure of Battino’s personal activities as inappropriate.
Anticipated Outcomes
Further developments are expected upon the completion of the internal investigation, which will ascertain the full extent of Battino’s compliance with the NYPD's income declaration requirements and her overall conduct concerning the OnlyFans account.
