Brooklyn court officer charged for sex abuse of court attendee
A former Brooklyn criminal court officer was indicted Monday for official misconduct in allegedly coercing a woman to perform a sex act on him in a court stairway, officials said.
Timothy Nolan, 58, walked up to a then 25-year-old woman waiting in a hall of criminal court at 120 Schermerhorn Street on Oct. 21, 2016. Nolan allegedly told the victim to take a walk with him and led her to a stairwell to perform a sex act on him, according to a Brooklyn DA statement.
“What this defendant – a public servant – allegedly did was a disgrace to his fellow court officers who day in and day out serve the public with respect and work hard to keep our courthouses safe,” acting Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in the statement.
