Episode Details

Brooklyn cop Joshua Acosta, 39, faces multiple felony sex offense charges involving a child, arrested off-duty and suspended without pay. A NYPD investigation handed over to prosecutors, Acosta has a troubling history: four substantiated misconduct complaints since 2019, including abuse of authority, plus internal violations like failing to use his body cam and improper pursuits that cost him vacation days and suspensions. He’s also named in two civil lawsuits settled for over $650K — no admission of guilt, but another red flag. Charges include rape and acts injurious to a child. This is a fast-moving, deeply concerning case with major legal and ethical implications.
