"In its published statistics and those shared with the city council, the NYPD still does not count forced oral or anal sex as a rape, no matter the victim's gender, according to a Newsy investigation."

BIG scoop from @newsy: newsy.com/stories/nypd-u…

.@Newsy got these records after their parent company sued the NYPD.

Their records request (which NYPD initially denied) was part of our collaborative "Case Cleared" project with them and @propublica. Read that investigation here: revealnews.org/article/rape-s…

We found that across the U.S., police departments may be pumping up their reported rape clearance rates through a process known as "exceptional clearance."
