A creepy NYPD cop was arrested Tuesday after trying to convince an undercover officer posing as a 16-year-old girl to get naked, according to police and court records.
Christopher Torres Garcia, stationed out of the 72nd Precinct in Brooklyn, met the undercover cop on Aug. 5 while working and the two exchanged numbers, according to a criminal complaint.
The pair then jumped on a video call on Aug. 18, prosecutors said.
During that call, Garcia, who’s been with the department for four years, allegedly asked the decoy to show off her naked body after she said she was taking a shower.
