AndrewBlakeA former dominatrix says her job as a New Jersey sheriff’s officer is in jeopardy because she rebuffed a county lawyer’s sexual advances and now he is trying to get her fired.
Kristen Hyman, 31, was suspended as a Hudson County sheriff’s officer in May, according to a legal filing reported by the New York Post .
Hyman was suspended after the Hudson County sheriff’s office leaned of her past as bondage actress Domina Nyx Blake who appeared in fetish videos. She was accused of not being truthful on her application, the New York Post reported.
In a new motion, Hyman’s lawyer alleges the real reason she is being targeted for dismissal is that she rejected the advances of 70-year-old Robert Pompliano, the attorney for the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office.
“Mr. Pompliano made a sexual advance against my client, touched her, kissed her, and she rebuffed him,” wrote lawyer Doug Anton in a motion letter to the administrative hearing officer. “For that he has jumped all over this opportunity to get her fired.”
Hyman said she was “creeped out” by Pompliano who saw her in the Jersey City office where Hyman was working temporarily due to a leg injury she sustained in training.
The legal motion said that Pompliano would demand to see and touch her legs and hold her hand. It quoted Pompliano as telling Hyman, “You are so pretty, you should be a model or an actress.” Hyman claimed that when Pompliano tried to kiss her, she turned her head.
The New York Post reported the 12-page document states the controversy over Hyman’s past began April 20, 2017. A video of Hyman was reviewed by Sheriff Frank Schillari, internal affairs and the county prosecutor’s office. The recommendation to fire Hyman, she claimed, was made by “the push” from Pompliano.
“He took over the investigation and is trying to push her out because she rebuffed his advances,” Anton told the New York Post.
Anton alleges five other members of the Hudson County Sheriff’s Department, including two female police officers, have complained “for some time” about Pompliano’s conduct, the newspaper reported.
The Hudson County Sheriff’s Office referred the New York Post to the county’s law department, which did not comment. Pompliano did not return multiple messages seeking comment.
