Cop fired for having sex with rookie's wife in station
August 8, 2008
A rookie Chicago Police officer knew he was going to have to sacrifice for the department -- but he never knew how much.
The rookie's wife was picked up by his supervisor, Sgt. Nicholas M. Ortega, who drove her to the Grand-Central police station on the Northwest Side and had sex with her. In June, the Chicago Police Board fired Ortega for the incident.
Ortega was in uniform toward the end of his shift when he stopped in the Grand Central Station bar in the 5700 block of West Grand. The rookie, a probationary officer, was at the bar and introduced Ortega to his wife.
Ortega, who was near the end of his midnight shift, invited the woman back to the station to see a morning roll call and drove her in his squad car, the police board found. Ortega, 46, admitted to having sex with the woman in the station.
