Where was the Post's investigation when he was a dirt-bag masquerading as a Brooklyn DA? NYPD watchdog loses job over sexual harassment allegations

If you're breaking the law - or at least the rules - can you really be a DA? Apparently you can in Brooklyn.

The newly appointed NYPD inspector general “notoriously” sexually harassed women colleagues for more than a decade, The Post has learned — prompting his ouster from the plum position Thursday.

Charles Guria sexually harassed at least seven current and former prosecutors and interns during his tenure at the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office, according to nine former and current prosecutors who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

I can't find a reference to exactly how long he was a King's County prosecutor, but he started in 1990 and there is one incident in 2018 listed. So, a long damn time.

“It’s not even an open secret, it’s just open. He’s one of the most notorious harassers in any DA office in the city.”

He is denying, and his lawyer is in hyperbole mode, saying that the story at the Post will have "earth-shattering consequences." [Looks around the room. Yep still here... Earth not shattered even a little]

So how did this guy work for many, many years as a Brooklyn DA when he can't even manage to be a decent human being?

Guria’s reputation is based on what eight former colleagues described as “creepy,” “disgusting,” “weird” and “inappropriate” behavior that was primarily aimed at young, inexperienced staffers and that spans more than a decade.

How? Because The System™ takes care of its own. The Rules only apply to The Little People, not to those on the inside.

And why didn't anyone come forward in all that time? Because they would have had their careers destroyed for trying to apply The Rules on the inside.
