NEW YORK — A Brooklyn man falsely arrested in a child molestation case will finally get his day in court after the U.S. Supreme Court paved the way for him to sue the NYPD even though his case was dismissed.
Postal worker Larry Thompson was wrongly accused of sexually abusing his newborn daughter in 2014 and was arrested when he refused to let police in his home without a warrant.
Thompson said cops barged into his Lincoln Place home and handcuffed him after a brief scuffle. The baby was taken to a hospital for evaluation, but the only marks on the child turned out to be diaper rash.
