Two NYPD officers from the Bronx’s 46th Precinct have been suspended without pay after a video allegedly showing them having sex in a stationhouse locker room landed on their supervisors’ desks this week. The footage was reportedly brought straight to the precinct by the father of the woman officer’s child, who wanted commanders to see what happened. Both officers were immediately taken off patrol while the department investigates.
Paperwork and law-enforcement sources identified the officers as 29-year-olds Erick Xoyatlacebada and Yuleni Campos-Saavedra and say they were placed on unpaid suspension last Tuesday. One source told reporters that one of the officers recorded the encounter and that a Police Benevolent Association delegates' email went out asking members to donate to the suspended officers. Those details were reported by the New York Post.
Precinct under scrutiny
The 46th Precinct covers the Fordham, University Heights, Morris Heights and Mount Hope neighborhoods in the central western Bronx, according to the NYPD. On top of the internal drama, the area is already dealing with serious public-safety concerns. The department’s weekly CompStat report for the precinct shows two murders year-to-date through the week ending March 1, 2026, compared with none at the same point last year, a data point officials have cited when talking about resources and response. Those numbers are reflected in the precinct CompStat report.
Union message and reaction
The Post also obtained what it described as a PBA delegates' email stating that two members of the 46th Precinct had been suspended and asking for support for them. A retired NYPD officer quoted in the coverage labeled the alleged behavior “official misconduct,” a choice of words that highlights how quickly an internal lapse can become a public embarrassment. Those details were reported by the New York Post.
What discipline could look like
Under department discipline guidance, overt sexual contact or sexual misconduct by members of the service can trigger heavy penalties, including suspension days, dismissal probation or separation from the force. The Internal Affairs Bureau typically investigates misconduct allegations and can recommend penalties up to termination depending on the findings. The department’s discipline matrix sets out presumptive penalties for sexual misconduct and other rules violations, and that framework is publicly available in department discipline documentation. Department guidance.
The NYPD’s inquiry remains active, and the department has released only limited detail about the probe. Commanders at the 46th and the department’s investigative units will decide whether additional administrative charges follow as they review the footage and take witness statements. Neighbors and community leaders say episodes like this do not help long-running concerns about oversight and trust in a precinct already wrestling with serious crime and scrutiny.
