Suspended LI Police Officer Accused Of Sexually Assaulting 2 Women: DA

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY — A suspended Suffolk County police officer was indicted Wednesday after reportedly sexually assaulting two women while off duty, Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said.

George Trimigliozzi, 56, of Islip, was indicted on charges including first-degree sexual abuse, after reportedly sexually assaulting two women following dates arranged through on-line dating applications, the DA said.

According to the investigation, in May 2021, Trimigliozzi met Jane Doe #1 on a dating website; on May 14, 2021, they went on a date in the Patchogue area, the DA said. Following the date, Trimigliozzi asked Jane Doe #1 to sit in his car to talk, the DA said.

Knowing he was a police officer and thus believing herself safe, Jane Doe #1 agreed, Tierney said. Once inside his car, Trimigliozzi moved into the passenger seat of the vehicle, where Jane Doe #1 was seated, and allegedly forcibly subjected her to sexual contact, to which she did not consent, Tierney said.

At one point during the sexual assault, Jane Doe #1 opened the passenger side car door; Trimigliozzi reportedly leaned over, grabbed the door, and closed it, placing himself in between Jane Doe #1 and the door, preventing her escape, Tierney said.

In June of 2022, Trimigliozzi met Jane Doe #2 on a dating website; on June 10, 2022, they went on a date in the Hampton Bays area, Tierney said. Trimigliozzi rode his motorcycle to pick up Jane Doe #2 at her home, the DA said. Jane Doe #2, knowing Trimigliozzi was a police officer, felt he could be trusted with her address and to pick her up at home, Tierney said.

Following the date, Jane Doe #2, worried Trimigliozzi had consumed too much alcohol, invited him into her home to "sober up" by having some water and using the restroom before he headed home, Tierney said. Trimigliozzi reportedly agreed and asked Jane Doe #2 for a tour of her apartment, the DA said. Once the two arrived at Jane Doe #2’s bedroom, Trimigliozzi reportedly pushed her onto the bed and had non-consensual intercourse with her, the DA said.

On Wednesday, Trimigliozzi was arraigned on the indictment before Supreme Court Justice Timothy P. Mazzei on charges including first-degree sexual abuse, a Class D felony; third-degree rape, a Class E felony; and second-degree unlawful imprisonment, a Class A misdemeanor, the DA said.

Justice Mazzei ordered Trimigliozzi held on $50,000 cash, $100,000 bond, or $1 million partially

secured bond during the pendency of the case, the DA said. Trimigliozzi is due back in court on May 22 and faces seven years in prison if convicted on the top count, Tierney said.

He is being represented by William Keahon, who was not immediately available for comment.

Trimigliozzi was previously indicted in October 2024 on several charges including enterprise corruption, promoting prostitution, falsifying business records, filing a false instrument, and official misconduct for his alleged involvement in running brothels and managing sex workers, the DA said. He is currently suspended without pay; that case is currently pending, Tierney sid.
