Women will testify about former sex-for-overtime chief, source says

The feds are lining up star witnesses in their sex-for-overtime case against ex-NYPD boss Jeffrey Maddrey — including a female detective he allegedly slept with and a cop who may have removed K-Y jelly and other evidence from his office, a source told The Post.

A third, unidentified woman is believed to be another key witness against the disgraced police chief.

Top of the feds list is Detective Ada Reyes, who allegedly had an affair with the married Maddrey. At the time he was the NYPD’s highest uniformed officer, until he was booted in December following The Post’s exclusive expose on another underling, Lt. Quathisha Epps, who claimed Maddrey coerced her into having sex with him for years.

The Manhattan U.S. Attorney launched its probe after Epps — who resigned — shortly after she filed a federal complaint accusing Maddrey of paying her eye-popping amounts of overtime for sexual favors.

Epps last year told The Post in shocking detail how in June 2023 Maddrey, 54, leaned her over a couch in his office, pulled a jar of K-Y Jelly out of a nearby locker and used it to have anal sex with her. She had sex with Maddery at One Police Plaza about 10 times, she said.

Maddrey has repeatedly insisted his sexual relationship with Epps, 52, was consensual.

Reyes, 42, who worked in a domestic violence unit at the NYPD, allegedly stayed in a Lower East Side apartment owned by Epps’ family on Maddrey’s orders so he “could visit her there,” a law enforcement source said.

Maddrey had Epps buy things – such as towels and other household goods — for Reyes with the overtime she was paid, Epps told The Post last year. She confirmed that Maddrey asked her to allow Epps to stay in the apartment owned by her family. She described Reyes as Maddrey’s “girlfriend.”

The feds also plan to call Detective Ingrid Sanders, who was Maddrey’s driver.

Sanders, 54, allegedly did more than drive Maddrey around town — she also acted as his clean-up crew at NYPD headquarters, the source said.

The feds plan to ask Sanders about whether she tried to interfere in their investigation by removing evidence from Maddrey’s office — including the K-Y jelly — before they could search the 13th-floor suite, the source said. 

“She went in on her day off to pack up his office,” the insider said. 

The feds are also planning to call a third woman whose identity is unknown. It’s not clear what her involvement in the case was.

After the Epps allegations emerged, then-newly appointed Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch began cleaning house, ousting dozens of NYPD brass on Dec. 28, beginning with bosses at the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau.

The feds plan to offer immunity to Reyes, which would prevent her from invoking her 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination, the law enforcement source said.

It wasn’t clear if a grand jury had been empaneled.

The Department of Justice’s Southern District of New York office did not respond to a request for comment, sending an automatic email citing the federal government’s shutdown.

None of the women could be reached for comment.
