1993 IA investigationIII. That Sergeant Burke engaged in a personal, sexual relationship with Lowrita Rickenbacker, a convicted felon known to be actively engaged in criminal conduct including the possession and sale of illegal drugs, prostitution and larceny, is SUBSTANTIATED.
IV. That Sergeant Burke engaged in sexual acts in police vehicles, while on duty and iN uniform is SUBSTANTIATED.

On
August 18, 2006, Ms. Rickenbacker filed a sexual assault complaint against Suffolk County. The case was dismissed with prejudice, however, Ms. Rickenbacker was awarded
