Ex-NYPD top cop Jeffrey Maddrey kicked out by wife after tawdry sex-for-OT scandal expose: sources
He’s been demoted.
Recently ousted NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey was kicked out of his Queens home by his enraged wife following a Post expose that linked him to a sleazy sex-for-OT scandal involving a high-ranking aide in the department, law enforcement sources said.
Maddrey, 53, the highest-ranking uniformed cop at the NYPD until his abrupt fall from grace last week, left his two-story Brookville home lugging two suitcases shortly after the explosive Dec. 21 report — and is now shacking up with kin in Georgia, the sources said.
The veteran cop, who rose through the ranks of New York’s Finest and was appointed chief by Mayor Eric Adams in 2022, was pressured to quit after the scandal broke.
The Post exclusive revealed that NYPD Lt. Quathisha Epps filed a complaint accusing Maddrey of an ongoing campaign of sexual extortion in exchange for perks and overtime duty.
Epps said the chief took advantage of her financial vulnerability — including a fear that she would lose her home to foreclosure — to strong-arm her into a sex-for-perks relationship staring in June 2023.
“I think he’s a predator,” she said. “He’d say, ‘We’re going to save your house,’ like you’re supporting me when you’re really just f–king me.”
Epps, 51, said Maddrey also forced her to do odd favors for other female cops, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity complaint filed by her attorney, Eric Sanders.
Sources said word of the alleged scandal infuriated new NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who has taken an axe to the department since taking over to cut useless spending an put more cops on the street.
Tisch, only the second woman to lead the 36,000-member police force, has orchestrated a shakeup at 1 Police Plaza, including booting the head of internal affairs, stripping brass of pricey drivers and security details, and transferring a loose-lipped spokesperson who called a Post reporter a “f–king scumbag.”
Those moves, and Maddrey’s forced resignation, are part of the Harvard-educated commissioner’s move to remake what critics called the department’s “frat house” culture.
Meanwhile, Maddrey has denied Epps’ allegations.
No one answered the door at the Maddrey home this week and voice messages left for both the ex-chief and his estranged wife by The Post were not returned.
