A city correction officer told police she was temporarily blinded and then raped, possibly by more than one man, police sources said Tuesday.
The 43-year-old victim isn’t sure where the Aug. 27 attack occurred or how many men assaulted her.
But she told police she believes at least one of the suspects works for correction and that other men who were there at the time may also be employed by the city agency — based on how they were talking, sources said.
The woman told cops she went to a barbecue with two friends, who are also officers, but by the time she was ready to leave, at about 4 a.m., one of the women had already left and the other suggested she catch a ride with another partygoer, sources said.
She agreed, and told cops she fell asleep in the man’s car. When she woke up somewhere in southeast Queens, the victim told detectives another man socked her in the face and yanked her out of the car.
Then, she reported, that man and the one who drove her took her inside a building, held her down on a pool table, forced her mouth open with a dental tool, and poured a mysterious liquid down her throat that temporarily blinded her.
Unable to see, the woman said she was raped and warned that if she reported what happened her family would be kidnapped and killed in front of her, according to sources.
The man who drove her to where she was attacked then dropped her home in Brooklyn, where her husband was waiting.
She did not remember anything until two days later, when she told her husband about it.
More than a week later, she went to a hospital to get a rape kit done, but doctors told her too much time had elapsed.
She consulted a lawyer after that, but was told she first needed to file a police report, which she did this week.
