NEW YORK — An NYPD captain accused in a lawsuit of raping an officer at Yankee Stadium has been fired, the Daily News has learned.
Capt. Jeffrey Brienza, 49, was fired in October after pleading guilty to administrative charges, though an NYPD spokesman said details about the charges and the plea would not be made public because he is no longer a cop.
The News reported in December 2021 that a 47-year-old officer quit the force a month earlier because Brienza allegedly repeatedly raped her at the ballpark, where they were both assigned to a coveted detail.
