Cop Hired After Stabbing Man 4 Times—Kept Job Despite 21 Complaints of Rape & Assault

Atlantic City, NJ – While it is not uncommon for a police officer to commit a crime that he is never convicted for, one department is being accused of covering up at least 21 criminal complaints against an officer who they hired after he was convicted of violently stabbing a man.

Officer Franco Sydnor, 41, has a record that includes allegations of sexual assault, domestic violence, physical assault and a host of other offenses that have accumulated over the years. Yet even though his colleagues were aware of his issues, the Atlantic City Police Department continued to come to his defense, and he was never actually charged for any of the allegations despite overwhelming evidence.

The complaints against Sydnor are coming to light now, thanks to a lawsuit filed by Anthony Moore. He became one of Sydnor’s victims in 2012 when he was part of a group of intoxicated men who were forcibly removed from Bally’s Casino during his brother’s bachelor party.

Sydnor insisted that he did not intentionally hit Moore and that the severe head injuries Moore received as a result of their encounter happened when Sydnor’s baton accidentally “grazed” Moore’s head. However, surveillance footage from the casino shows Sydnor forcing Moore onto the ground and then repeatedly striking the intoxicated man with his baton.
