WHY ARE UNIONIZED PUBLIC EMPLOYEES SO PRONE TO SEXUAL ABUSE? I was sexually assaulted by FDNY firefighters on my first day.

Firefighter Gordon Springs, 28, said in a deposition filed in court how he was “sexually assaulted” and humiliated on May 4, 2015, his first day at Ladder Co. 35/Engine Co. 40 near Lincoln Center, a squad dubbed The Cavemen.

Springs and three other probies fresh out of the Fire Academy were ushered to the gym where firefighter Peter Grillo “gave me an aggressive push” and whispered, “This house is really gay,” Springs said.

When he saw that all the firefighters were naked, he said, he tried to leave, but someone held the door shut to block his exit. . . .

Aristy warned Springs not to report the incident: “He told me he could punch me in my face and there was nothing I can do about it.”

The city’s defense: “The firefighters involved in the prank believed it would be a funny way to break the ice with the new members.”

Pathetic.
