An NYPD sergeant was busted for allegedly stalking a female underling online and sharing naked photos of her after she ended their relationship, according to police sources.
Sgt. Joel Dejesus, 37 – who joined the ranks in 2012 – turned himself into the Bronx District Attorney’s Office Thursday morning to face charges of computer trespass, official misconduct and unlawful dissemination or publication of an intimate image, prosecutors and sources said.
Dejesus allegedly “disseminated or published” the woman’s explicit photos between July 13 and July 31, 2024, according to an indictment unsealed in Bronx Supreme Court.
It was not immediately clear where Dejesus allegedly distributed the photos, but he did so after the woman broke up with him, the sources said.
He is also accused of using NYPD computer systems “without authorization” on several dates between August 10, 2024 and July 27, 2025, according to the court doc.
He allegedly looked up both his ex and her new boyfriend on the computer, the sources said.
Dejesus was released on his own recognizance during his Thursday arraignment, because the charges are not eligible for bail.
He will next appear in court on Dec. 16.
He has since been suspended without pay from the department, according to the NYPD.
