NYPD Inspector Fired After Bronx Indictment on Attempted Rape Charges

An internal affairs referral led to a Bronx indictment alleging a 2025 office assault that could decide whether the inspector keeps his pension.

Overview

  • Bronx prosecutors have indicted Inspector Jeremy Scheublin on attempted rape and related sex‑crime charges, the NYPD suspended him in early July and then terminated his employment after the indictment; he has pleaded not guilty and is due back in court on October 30.
  • Prosecutors and court filings say a woman who served under Scheublin alleges he blocked her office exit, groped her, forced her onto a couch and tried to remove her belt during an on‑duty encounter in January 2025.
  • The accuser’s civil complaint describes a longer pattern of sexual harassment and retaliation, and an assistant district attorney presented detailed courtroom statements describing the alleged conduct.
  • Scheublin joined the department in 2002 and has more than 20 years of service, which would normally preserve pension rights unless he is convicted of a felony.
  • Civil and criminal cases are ongoing and could affect both the accuser’s claims of workplace retaliation and Scheublin’s employment benefits, with the legal fight likely to shape accountability and pension outcomes for long‑tenured officers.
