This is sodomy guy, the victim, Michael Mineo. He has accused the NYPD of hitting his backs with a baton after getting caught smoking some greenery:

Three police officers have surrendered on charges that they participated in a sex assault on a handcuffed man and then tried to cover up the crime. The Brooklyn district attorney announced a 32-count indictment Tuesday charging Officer Richard Kern with aggravated sexual abuse and assault; and Officers Alex Cruz and Andrew Morales with hindering prosecution and official misconduct. In addition to those felonies, all three are charged with misdemeanors, including falsifying records. If convicted, Kern could face up to 25 years in prison; the others could face up to four years. According to prosecutors, several officers pinned down the victim and handcuffed him before Kern “anally assaulted him with a retractable baton.” Defense attorneys say the officers didn’t do anything wrong. They were indicted last week by a grand jury investigating the shocking allegations. The officers turned themselves in at the Brooklyn district attorney’s office Tuesday to be processed for a court appearance. A law enforcement official said the grand jury had been presented incriminating forensic evidence collected by investigators. That evidence, combined with the eyewitness account of a fellow officer, pointed to Kern as a primary suspect, according to the official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the indictment was not yet unsealed. Defense attorneys say the officers didn’t do anything wrong. “We don’t know what the people’s proof is, but as far as I’m concerned my client is not guilty,” said Kern’s attorney, John Patten. Said Cruz’s lawyer, Stuart London, “He never observed any misconduct nor engaged in any misconduct.” The accused officers approached Michael Mineo on Oct. 15 outside a subway station because they believed he was smoking marijuana, police said. When he fled into the station, they and two other uniformed officers wrestled him to the ground face down and handcuffed him. Mineo, a 24-year-old body piercer, claims that during the struggle his pants were pulled down and one of the officers sodomized him as he screamed out in pain. He says he believed he was violated with the antenna of a handheld radio and that the assailant was Cruz. But a transit officer called as a grand jury witness early last month testified that he saw Kern wield a baton and put it near Mineo’s buttocks, according to one of the law enforcement officials. The transit officer was among those who helped subdue Mineo, but he has not been charged. After Mineo was given a ticket for disorderly conduct and released, he was hospitalized for several days. Hospital discharge papers show that upon arrival he was diagnosed with “anal assault.” The district attorney’s office launched the grand jury investigation in late October when the allegations came to light. The officers were placed on desk duty pending the outcome of the case.

For being accused of plucking  man cakes with a baton, desk duty some how does not seem fitting. If One-Time really did do this to Sodomy Guy, then jail might be a pleasant place for them.
