The father of the rookie New York City police officer who was filmed giving a lap dance to her married lieutenant during a raunchy Christmas party says his daughter has been crying over the ordeal and that he plans on suing.
The angry dad made the comments on the same day that Lieutenant Nick McGarry's wife furiously confronted a New York Post reporter who approached the couple for comment outside their home in Orange County, New York, about 70 miles north of Manhattan.
The unnamed rookie's father told the Post on Monday that his daughter told him: 'Daddy, I made some mistake. I'm very embarrassed about what I did. I embarrassed you and my family.'
The father told the Post that his daughter is 'frustrated' over the incident.
'She cried and cried,' he said. 'She is young. She doesn't know how but he is married, the lieutenant. He should know better.
I am going to sue them.'
Meanwhile, there was further drama when the lieutenant and and his wife were approached by a reporter outside their home in Orange County, New York.
'F*** you!' Melissa McGarry told the Post reporter and a photographer outside the couple's home in New Windsor as she was restrained by her husband.
'It's not worth it, get back in the car,' the lieutenant told his fuming wife as she continued her rant.
Melissa McGarry told the press members: 'There are other things to worry about in this world!'
As the couple drove away, Melissa McGarry took her hands off the steering wheel and flipped the bird to the reporter with both hands, screaming: 'F*** you! F*** you! F*** you!'
According to her social media page, Melissa McGarry is a leasing assistant and resident events coordinator at Water Club Luxury Living, an apartment and condominium complex in Poughkeepsie, New York.
Phone calls to a number listed under her name went unanswered.
Her husband has reportedly been reassigned to a Transit unit after he was filmed receiving a lap dance from one of his underlings during a raucous holiday party.
The shocking video from the 44th Precinct's annual bash shows the rookie female officer in a checkered mini-skirt and knee-high boots grinding her backside on Nick McGarry's lap as he sits in a chair and holds onto her thighs in the middle of a bar.
In another video, she turns around to face McGarry and straddles the precinct commander as he grabs her by the waist. She then holds onto the lieutenant's head as she continues to gyrate on him.
Police brass wasted no time in disciplining McGarry, who has been with the NYPD since 2010, after the tawdry video surfaced from Thursday's $75 per-person party, which featured a DJ and open bar.
