A veteran cop in upstate New York, who is also an Iraq War veteran and married father of three children, allegedly had sexual encounters with two teenagers, sometimes outside of cemeteries and an elementary school, police said Monday.

Watervliet Police Officer Joshua Spratt, 34, is accused of exploiting a position working with high school students to lure his victims, the Albany Times Union reported.

“For me personally, (the accusations are) a shock, particularly with Officer Spratt because he hadn’t exhibited any of this type of behavior to us,” Watervliet Police Chief Ronald Boisvert told the paper.

The Watervliet City School District also denounced Spratt in a statement, calling his accusations “an egregious and unforgiveable (sic) betrayal of the trust we all placed in him.”

Sick bastard.

Spratt allegedly had sexual relationships with two girls, ages 16 and 17, according to the indictment. Between February and April this year, he had oral sex with the 16-year-old in the parking lots of two local cemeteries, as well as the parking lot of Watervliet Elementary School, the indicted says.

Since 17 is the age of consent in New York State, Spratt was only charged with official misconduct for his alleged encounters with the older girl.

Spratt served 10 years on the Watervliet Police force, and spent two years working as an unpaid resource officer at Watervliet High School, helping to promote student safety, CBS Albany reported. That seemingly charitable service gave him easy access to the girls, school officials said.

The officer faces felony charges of third-degree criminal acts, plus misdemeanor charges of child endangerment and official misconduct. Spratt pleaded not guilty to all charges and is out on $50,000 bail. He faces up to 16 years in prison if found guilty.
