A former sex worker has opened up about her unwitting involvement in the ongoing NYPD corruption scandal, which earlier this week saw the arrest of three high-ranking cops on corruption charges. Gabi Grecko, a reality TV star and a former sex worker, told the New York Post Friday that she was hired in 2013 to "entertain" NYPD deputy inspector James Grant, detective Michael Milici, and others during a private flight to Las Vegas in 2013.
"It was me on top the whole time," Grecko told the Post, adding that she performed oral sex on each man in the cabin. "Front, behind, side. They all seemed really comfortable to take their pants off in front of each other and laugh about it. It's like they'd done this before." Jeremy Reichberg, now named as a co-defendant in Grant's pressing legal battle, reportedly "directed" the encounter by shouting instructions at the cabin.
"He was just like setting it up and watching," Grecko said. "He got serviced for part of the time, but he was mostly just egging it on and saying nasty comments, instructing me what to do sexually." According to Grecko, Reichberg also called her "a dirty slut" while "smacking my ass." But Reichberg wasn't the only one who reportedly exhibited unsavory behavior.
"I didn't think it would be as extreme as it was, but then because I obviously couldn't get off the plane, I had to do what they were telling me," Grecko said. "More than one would try to get my attention at once. They were really creepy and very rude and offensive."
Grecko revealed that she had been "solicited for the trip" by Reichberg after the two met at an Upper East Side hotel party. When all was said and done, Grecko walked away with just $1,500 for a harrowing experience she said inspired her to quit the escort life outright. "It's a dark thing that happened to me, but I don't think it defines me," she told the Post. Grecko is currently cooperating with all involved authorities and is being represented as "a potential witness" by attorney Robert Baum in the case against Reichberg and Grant.
So what does all this mean in terms of the NYPD corruption scandal? Well, the current allegations against Grant and Reichberg paint a deep and complicated picture. Investigators have argued that Reichberg and Jona Rechnitz, a real estate investor, invited Grant and Milici to the Vegas Super Bowl trip. Rechnitz is alleged to have paid for the $59,000 jet, according toGothamist, while also footing the bill for the involved cops' food and shelter. Grant is alleged to have returned the favor by performing "numerous official acts" as deputy inspector.
Grant's lawyer told the Post Friday that Grecko's allegations were "an assassination of my client's character," insisting the evidence will show the mile-high group sex session had "nothing to do with the alleged quid pro quo."
