Bronx Paramedic Forced Oral Sex On Patient: NYPD

THE BRONX, NY — Police on Monday arrested a Bronx paramedic accused of forcing oral sex on a woman in an ambulance on their way to a hospital. Karel Delgado picked up the woman, 43, around noon Saturday after she called an ambulance complaining of possible pneumonia, the NYPD said.

Delgado, who works at EMS Station 26 in the Morrisania neighborhood, forced the woman to perform oral sex on him while they were on the way to Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx, an NYPD spokesperson said.

The New York Daily News reported that Delgado touched the woman's face with his penis and also groped her.

Special Victims Division investigators came to the hospital after she arrived, police said.

Delgado, was arrested at his home around 12:45 p.m. Monday and charged with sex abuse, forcible touching and criminal sexual act, the NYPD said.

Delgado faces suspension without pay for up to 30 days, an FDNY spokesman said. He made $82,914 last year, according to the See Through NY database.

Delgado isn't the only first-responder facing sex abuse charges. Michael Seebrat, an FDNY emergency medical technician, was accused in February of sexually assaulting a woman in an ambulance on the way to Lenox Hill Hospital last year.
