The city has fired an NYPD captain who allegedly sexted a detective and sent her photos of his genitals, the New York Daily News reported.
Brian Flynn was let go by Commissioner Jessica Tisch three months prior to his 20th anniversary, along with the pension and health benefits that come with it, according to the report.
Flynn pleaded guilty before NYPD Trial Judge Jeff Adler to sending explicit messages to the detective while on duty — in hopes of keeping his job or being permitted to retire with the benefits intact, according to the outlet.
A department psychologist testified that Flynn had a traumatizing past, though Adler said it did not excuse the “stream of sexually graphic, disturbing text messages...”

The detective, who joined the NYPD in 2014, filed a lawsuit two years ago claiming that while she was working at Bronx Warrants, she was subjected to two years of sexual harassment by Flynn.
