A gay NYPD lieutenant has been found guilty of sexually harassing two male sergeants and creating a lewd, hostile work environment, the Daily News has learned.
Lt. Kieran Crowe, 50, denied the allegations, and blamed his behavior on "jock itch."
Sgts. Dominic Coppola and Sean Gallagher filed an internal complaint against Crowe in 2004, when all three men worked at the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity at Police Headquarters. They also sued the city and the NYPD in Manhattan Federal Court.
The sergeants said Crowe, a 23-year NYPD veteran, simulated masturbating and wiggled his tongue at them in a sexually suggestive manner in the 12th-floor office which, ironically, investigates harassment in the .workplace.
Trial commissioner John Grappone rejected that argument. In a ruling issued over the summer, Grappone said no medical condition warrants "extensive staring at crotches, masturbation gestures, tongue gestures and sighing sounds."
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly signed off on a penalty in which Crowe was suspended for 60 days and placed on dismissal probation. That means he can be fired for any misbehavior over the next year.

Disgusting.
Bus his ass back to parking enforcement. He could be a “meter maid”.
Not an image I needed bouncing around my head, thanks.
Seriously, if your jock itches, go to the bathroom and scratch it. And then pick up some antifungal cream on the way home.
I'm sure that Sgt. Crowe has many whistleblowers to choose from.
Bet somebody blows something.
What a Jerk Off!
“No, its not Grapp one, its grab this”
Nothing ironic about it. At Compaq, the VP of HR had two cases of sexual harssment against him settled out of court.
Seems par for the course for that field.
