NEW YORK — A former New York City police officer has been sentenced to eight years in prison for sexually assaulting a girl and endangering the well-being of three other girls, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.
Shaun Frazier, 43, of Brooklyn, was sentenced Thursday to eight years in prison followed by five years of post-release supervision, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said. His sentencing comes after he pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree criminal sex act and three counts of endangering the welfare of a minor on March 13. As part of his sentence, Frazier must also register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.
“The abhorrent abuse of little girls by this defendant is an outrage and marks a shocking betrayal of the trust placed in a member of law enforcement,” Gonzalez said.
The case against Frazier, and his subsequent sentencing, are related to several incidents spanning several years, prosecutors said. The girls associated with these incidents reported them to their parents and an investigation was launched.
According to the investigation, Frazier was a family friend of the four young victims.
In one incident, on September 19, 2019, according to the investigation, Frazier exposed himself to a 10-year-old girl and masturbated in front of her.
In another incident, according to the district attorney’s office citing the investigation, between March 20, 2018, and June 15, 2018, Frazier repeatedly exposed himself and masturbated in front of two other girls, ages 12 and 13.
Later, in April 2017, according to the investigation, he also forced an 11-year-old girl to perform a sexual act.
Frazier joined the New York City Police Department in January 2015 and was suspended in 2019 after his first arrest. He resigned in November 2020. Before joining the NYPD, he worked as a judicial officer for 10 years.
