Erik Ward vs. Gina Pane

Gina Pane is a former professional dominatrix who worked using the name Angelabella. Pane is suing the Greenburgh (Westchester County New York) Police Department for two million dollars, claiming police harassment.

Reportedly she agreed to satisfy Police Officer Erik Ward’s coprophilia in hopes of getting a marijuana-possession charge dismissed. Ward was suspended back in March after an investigation by police and the Westchester County District Attorney.

Pane gave testimony at Ward’s trial for official misconduct:

“He wanted to go to a motel in the Bronx where I would defecate on him, but I told him I was uncomfortable going to the Bronx,” testified the dominatrix, Gina Pane, 31, buttoned up in an olive-gray suit with her black hair pulled back in a bun. “I suggested that we go into a woody area. He was very excited.”

Ward claims he was cultivating her as an informant.

Assistant District Attorney Gwendolyn Galef said, however, that Ward knew the rules about developing a confidential informant and broke them to gratify his own defecation fetish.

Sounds like something from an episode of CSI:

Among the evidence the prosecutor presented was the dominatrix’s own feces, which was tested in a lab. There was also video surveillance that, it was alleged, showed Pane and Ward in a parking lot before their alleged sexual encounter, along with matching samples of mud taken from his Jeep and the woods.
