Behind the Badge: NJ Police Chief’s Daughter Alleges Years of ‘Ritualistic’ Abuse and Assault
In a case that’s sending shockwaves through New Jersey law enforcement, court documents reveal that the daughter of a sitting police chief has filed a lawsuit accusing her father and several others of years-long sexual assault and what she describes as “ritualistic” abuse.

According to filings made public this week, the now-adult daughter alleges that the abuse began when she was a minor and involved multiple individuals in positions of authority. The accusations include graphic details, though many specifics remain sealed due to the sensitive nature of the case.
The police chief named in the lawsuit has not publicly commented, and no criminal charges have been filed as of now. New Jersey state investigators confirmed an active review is underway.
The case has sparked widespread debate about trust, power, and accountability within law enforcement agencies, with some calling for immediate suspension while investigations continue.
For many in the community, the situation raises difficult questions: What happens when those sworn to protect are accused of violating that very duty at the most personal level?
