The NYPD has confirmed it’s looking into Det. Yesenia Maida’s claims a fellow officer at the 52nd Precinct placed semen in her water bottle.

The New York Daily News first reported the claims last week, which reported that a 12-year-old girl was the first to discover the mysterious substance. Maida, a mother of two and wife of a fellow Five-Two officer, heads up the precinct’s NYPD Explorer program.

“We have to change something in this department,” Maida said in a follow-up article. “It’s not OK, but sexual harassment happens in this department every day. As women and as cops, we get tough skins and shrug it off, but it’s not going to happen this time.”

Maida spared few words for her alleged harassers.

“[Whoever did this] do not deserve to be called police officers and need to be out of this job and face consequences,” Maida said.

Maida has hired Eric Sanders, a civil rights lawyer who specializes in representing cops in suits against the NYPD. Last month, Sanders settled a 6-year-old lawsuit against NYPD management over lewd pics sent to Transit Bronx Task Force Detective Shemalisca Vasquez by her direct supervisor, Lieutenant Ruben Caban. Vasquez received $300,000 in the settlement.

Maida has not taken any legal action yet, but told the Daily News that the Internal Affairs Bureau declined to investigate at first. Now, the Bureau has launched an investigation and took the water bottle in for testing.

After first avoiding the subject with the 12-year-old Youth Explorer who first discovered the tainted bottle, Maida told the 30 pre-teen and teenage explorers she supervises through the program.

“I wanted to tell them I’m going to fight to make this right,” Maida told the Daily News. “It’s never right when someone makes you feel violated.”
