NEW YORK - A police detective forced a 13-year-old runaway to work as a prostitute at parties around the city, telling her that if she attempted to escape he would make her sell herself on the streets, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The detective, 35-year-old Wayne Taylor, and a woman accused of working as his partner were arrested on charges of kidnapping, promoting prostitution, assault and endangering the welfare of a child, the Queens district attorney's office said.
Taylor, a 14-year veteran assigned to the New York Police Department's housing bureau, was suspended without pay, the NYPD said. Both he and the woman, 29-year-old Zelika Brown, pleaded not guilty at their arraignment Wednesday. Taylor's lawyer Peter Brill and Randall Unger, an attorney for Brown, did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
