NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is investigating rape allegations against the son of Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. A woman has filed a complaint accusing TV news anchor Greg Kelly of sexual assault.

Sources told CBS 2′s Pablo Guzman on Thrusday that a woman came to the 13th Precinct with her sister Tuesday night to file the complaint. According to reports, she said she met Kelly, co-host of “Good Day New York” on Fox 5 TV, near the South Street Seaport in October.

It is alleged that they had drinks, then went to her law office, where she claims she was sexually assaulted.

Police spokesman Paul Browne said the police commissioner was recently made aware of an accusation against his son by the boyfriend of a woman.

“Commissioner Kelly was approached by an unknown individual at a public event who told him that his son had ‘ruined my girlfriends life,’” Browne said in an e-mailed statement to CBS 2. ”Commissioner Kelly asked him to explain and the man said he didn’t want to discuss it there, so the commissioner told him to put it in writing and send it to him.”

The investigation was turned over to Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance on Wednesday because of a potential conflict of interest — a decision Mayor Michael Bloomberg agreed with.

“In this case, I thought the Police Department did exactly what they should do. They right away turned over the investigation to the DA because you don’t want the appearance of a conflict of interest,” he said.

Vance and his team will be searching for witnesses an evidence to support the woman’s claims she was drunk.  They are already weeding through surveillance videos from a Seaport bar and her office.

For investigators, it may come down to this: was she so drunk, she was not capable of saying no? That would support a rape charge.

“These are the worst cases because the fact of the matter is that if he knowingly forced himself on somebody who is saying no even though she started down that road, it’s still rape,” said criminal lawyer Gerald Lefcourt.

To back a claim that she was quite drunk, Vance will have to get witnesses who saw them drinking near the Seaport. And investigators are already searching for videos of Kelly and the woman at or near a bar, walking to her office, inside her building, and especially what they were like when they left.

“In my opinion the prosecutors are looking for every single piece of evidence that corroborates her or corroborates him,” said Lefcourt.

The mayor said he and Kelly are approached often by the public and anybody with a complaint is asked to send it in. He insists all complaints are taken seriously.

In a statement, Greg Kelly’s lawyer, Andrew Lankler, said: “Greg Kelly is aware that the New York County District Attorney’s Office is conducting an investigation. Mr. Kelly strenuously denies any wrongdoing of any kind and is cooperating fully with district attorney’s investigation. We know that the district attorney’s investigation will prove Mr. Kelly’s innocence.”

Greg Kelly has not been charged and has stepped away from his duties at “Good Day New York” while the investigation continues.

    If your girlfriend is in the habit of having sexual afffairs with men she just met, at her business office no less, then you sir, need to find a new girlfriend. Let’s not even mention the fact that your so called girlfriend, is using you, just as she is going to use the justice (or injustice is the accurate term) system to try and get what she wants.

    Times reports that the woman works at a law firm and had taken him at night to the offices of the firm.
    She did not file a report for 3 months later?
    What is up with that?
    I am sure that their were security cameras and maybe even a guard.
    She new what she was doing.
    Sounds like bi-polar and alcohol do not mix very well.

  • Deborah Jeffries

    The problem that I have with this woman is she’s allegedly raped in October and reports it to police at the tail end of January. Any forensic evidence would be gone by now. Just like that maid who continued cleaning rooms after an alleged rape from the IMF head. This makes it hard for real rape victims. You don’t wait, you report it at that time.

  • Mr Rite Aid

    His first mistake as a performer and son of our police commissioner
    was to go at night to this young ladies office. Stop blaming the female
    she is almost half his age.
    In anyway I bet she has some evidence but it
    also could be “he said she said “and if there was hanky panky it could have
    been agreed by both parties that it was OK to drop the pants.
    A man of Greg Kelly’s fame should not have let himself in that door and a law
    office at that ,it sounds like a bad Jay Leno joke.

    We do know that women are constantly falsely accusing men of wrong doing.
    Many Fathers are accused of domestic violence and even rape by their wife.
    Women use this as a tactic when wanting to divorce their husbands to have their husbands removed from the marital residence and to never be let back in.
    The Father is proven innocent but the the wife is never brought up on charges for filing a false police report. The VAWA is being abused constantly by many women (not all). The courts are aware of this but do little to penalize the her for wrong doing. Taking advantage of a system set up to help those in true need of help is Sociopathic and cruel. I do not know the specifices on this story other than what I have read but it looks as if it is a he said, she said thing so far.
    It does not surprise me that alcohol is involved. This should be a good one since he is Kelly’s son. PEACE.

    • Susan

      In divorce court they call this “The Sulver Bullet”. That is to say, making false accusations against the spouse (man) to get him out of the house and away from his children. It has been going on for years and hundreds of thousands of men have suffered unjustly becuase of it. The police, courts and chid supoort agencies (a multi billion dollar business, COUld not be happier. God Bless America, what’s left of it.

  • Ligzie

    I don’t know but he does come off a little sexually frustrated.

    • CT Native

      And you think this because………?

  • justpassinthru

    so ‘she said, he said’ but both were foolish Why did she keep in contact w/Kelly? Why was the boyfriend the one to report it? Kelly should have known he would be recognized as a news anchor and changed his ways to account for that, (perhaps stop picking up women on the street.) Don’t know if he is actually guilty but what does this mean in terms of his co-anchor job at Good Day? Fox invested a lot in advertising on Rosanna/Greg, will they back him or will they drop him?

  • Rodin

    Would have loved to be the proverbial “fly on the wall” when this father and son conversation was being had!

  • CT Native

    If he’s guilty, put him away. If she’s lying, put her away!

  • Liberals Are Evil

    The puta is looking for cash!!!

  • bosco66

    RAPE or $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$???

  • Dr.Freud

    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

    I think you are a little too concerned over the months about that
    part of the human anatomy ,you always bring up as they say
    the “Maid protests too much”. If you are not as stupid as you appear
    that means ,you really are wishing that that part of the anatomy was
    violated on yourself. Time for an counseling appointment .

  • Vik

    I could think of a lot of public figures who’d be full of b.s. but not Greg Kelly. This hoe-down invited him back to her office, got leid and either he had to leave and she didn’t like it and is now looking for a pay out. He’s innocent and I hope the D.A. doesn’t drag out some over-zealous rape nonsense. Leave this one alone. Better yet — and then send the bimbo to the Jersey Shore.

  • Kris

    One of them is telling the truth, one of them is lying. Nobody but those two know what happened. And that includes all the windbags here making comments as if they were there and they know. Seriously, people, get a job.

  • xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I bet his father is proud .

    • MaryANN

      That’s my son.

  • royallen

    This guys a putz,but he is considered innocent until proven guilty,and at this point he hasn’t been charged with anythiing. Not to mention how fishy the womens story is………………………ms lawyer

  • Scott

    Why is this man’s picture, name, credentials and so forth splashed all over the news while the women (and I use that term with hesitation) who is accusing him is unknown. Anybody can accuse anbody of anything. the problem here is that even if he is innnocent, which is likley, she has alreeady done damage to him by making such an accusation. This can happen to any of us and IT IS WRONG. This has to change in this country.

    • Sarabella

      Scott, you’re so right. He can be totally and completely innocent – nothing has been proven and his reputation is being dragged through the mud. Completely unfair.

  • Peter

    Why did she take Kelly to her law office to show him some law books ? get real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • mr. farkas

    i always though this guy was batting for the other team.
    he is a no talent and i wonder how he got the job.

  • Rockets Redglare

    More BULLSH!T to make a working, patriotic man look evil……

  • Frank Rizzo

    ^yeah, what he said^ ……….

    pfffffffffffft

  • Did it really happen

    This looks like she was caught by boyfriend and made up story of rape.The boyfriend was the one who reported it.She is just trying to save her relationship because who meets a guy on the street goes has drinks with him then invites him back to office.HMMM sounds like boyfriend found out and she cried rape.

  • royallen

    I always wondered how this looser ,got a news anchor job,now I know how…his daddy is the Police Commisioner…………………………!

    • rayallen

      Wow your so wrong on this one.Former marine and all around good guy I would just wonder why her boyfriend was one to report it sounds like she was caught with the skirt down.

      • Peter

        A former Fighter Pilot to F-16!!!

    • Anth710

      He was actually a White House Correspondent for several years, along with reporting from the battle fields. THAT is how he got the news anchor job. Just because someone has a parent in a position of power, doesn’t mean they don’t have their own skills. Do your research.

  • Frank

    He said, she said.

    Either way, the sex probably wasn’t pleasurable for at least one of them.

  • OWS

    WHY EVEN REPORT THIS!NOTHING IS GOING TO COME OUT OF IT.WILL BE SWEPT INTO THE TRASH WITH THE OTHER ALLEGATIONS AND CORRUPTIONS AGAINST BLOMMBUCKS AND HIS COHORT KELLY

    • DD

      Is it not a possibility that he DIDN’T do it? You have no clue. He is a well-known news journalist…this lady could be after his money and her 15 minutes…why assume he is guilty because of his father. Go occupy your cesspool.
