PERVY POLICE SHOCK
By MURRAY WEISS HASANI GITTENS and ERIKA MARTINEZ
January 31, 2008 -- A veteran NYPD detective and his girlfriend have been arrested on charges of pimping out teenage girls to perverts attending bachelor and strip parties, authorities said yesterday.
Detective Wayne Taylor was picked up Tuesday with his gal-pal madam in Jamaica, Queens, as they drove a 17-year-old girl to a hotel for a strip party and sex with several men, cops said.
The tip that led to their arrests came from a 13-year-old Bedford-Stuyvesant runaway who had also been pressed into service by Taylor and from another, unidentified pimp, according to authorities.
After returning home a few days ago, the Brooklyn girl told her parents, and then cops, that on Jan. 10, she met a pimp named "Drama" who got her into the business of dancing for money at parties, Queens DA Richard Brown said.
Drama took the girl to a madam named "Mommy Z," who "bought" the teen for $500, she told cops. Mommy Z turned out to be Taylor's girlfriend, Zelika Brown , 28, officials said.
Taylor, 35, a cop since 1994, and Brown, began bringing her to strip and bachelor parties, and the officer told her to say she was 19 if anyone asked, the DA said. Prices at the sordid soirees ran from $40 for oral sex to $80 for intercourse.
Brown, who has a tattoo on her back that reads "Wayne," allegedly told police she was running the prostitution business and Taylor would "watch out" for her while her girls were working. Taylor told cops that Brown just ran an "exotic dance" business.
The alleged madam at least once chastised the 13-year-old for not earning enough money and slammed her head into the floor, prosecutors said. Taylor allegedly told the victim that if she failed to earn more money or tried to leave his Jamaica home, he would force her to work on the streets.
It was only after the pair sold the teen to another pimp on Long Island that she ran away and eventually spoke to police.

I recently heard an interview of Denzel Washington in which he said that on the first day of shooting for "Training Day" he insisted that the character he was portraying had to be killed by the end of the movie. Now my understanding of his reasoning has been enhanced. This cop is an evil person.
Cop that Pimped Runaway Teen ought to be punished severely
I can honestly say that this is absolutely one of the worst and most unnerving horror stories I have ever encountered. While it is true that many runaways, be they male or female, end up getting involved in some sort of prostitution, the idea that a police officer, someone who is expected to be a positive role model and of a higher caliber, would actually be involved to any degree in such goings on is repulsive! This fellow ought to be punished severely if found guilty. As a former teen runaway myself some twenty-odd years back, I know first hand how vulnerable these kids are on the streets. These scars never really go away. It has only been in the last two years that I myself have been able to face the things that happened to me. I did this by writing a novel entitled "Where Do the Children Go?" which is due out in the coming months. Let's hope that law officers take a lesson from this thing and be more aware of the character of their fellow officers. Perhaps we can root out some bad apples here.
