Accused: TV anchor Greg Kelly strenuously denies the claims against him; a source says the two exchanged explicit text messages before their date

The woman accusing New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly’s son of rape exchanged 'explicit' texts with Greg both before and after their date, a source has revealed.



The source told the New York Post exclusively that she first encountered Greg on a downtown street and told him he was ‘so cute.'

‘They were sexual,’ the source said, referring to the alleged texts. ‘They talked about what they wanted to do to each other.’

The source told the Post that texts between the 29-year-old paralegal and the Good Day New York anchor was like ‘two days of foreplay.’ In all, 17 text messages were exchanged between the two.

The woman, whose name has not yet been released, lied to her boyfriend so she could go out and meet Kelly, the source said. She reportedly told him that she was going out to meet a girlfriend.

The two met at Jeremy’s Ale House on October 8, a tavern on the historic New York waterfront, the New York Daily News reveals.

The pub is hardly high-brow, serving beer in Styrofoam cups and embellishing the graffiti-ridden ceilings with women's underpinnings.

The source said they ordered drinks and then headed to the woman’s law firm, also located in lower Manhattan. They then had sex in her office, the source said.

After the alleged attack, ‘they continued to text,’ the source said. ‘Part of it was about arranging another date.’

‘You don’t text your rapist – other than to say, “You’re awful,”’ the source told the newspaper.

Investigators from the Manhattan District Attorney’s office are looking into every possible piece of evidence in the high-profile case, the source said – including whether the woman used a swipe card to enter the building and the manner of how she entered.

‘There’s a difference between being drunk and being physically helpless,’ said the source. ‘Nobody had to carry her.’

According to the Daily News, DA investigators asked for video footage and a list of workers that night and Jeremy’s, the bar manager said.

Repeated leaks about allegations of rape filed against the son of the New York City Police Commissioner could undermine the investigation into the claims, according to legal experts.

The leaks, which include the claim that Greg Kelly is unlikely to be charged because his accuser is considered too unreliable, were criticised by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance.

' I have absolutely no idea what source of that incendiary quote is,' Mr Vance said on Saturday, 'nor would I support an anonymous quote like that.'

His comments came days after NYPD boss Raymond Kelly refused to comment on the rape allegations against his TV host son Greg.

The major leak in the investigation came when the District Attorney's office said it will likely not file criminal charges against the 43-year-old after he produced text messages he says prove the sex between him and the woman was consensual.

Sources from the DA's office said they don't buy the law-firm paralegal's allegations against Greg Kelly and believe it to be a 'bunch of bulls***.'

Roger Canaff, a former special victims prosecutor who is now a legal consultant to the Army, told the Huffington Post that these leaks jeopardised the chances of a successful prosecution.

Top cop: Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly reclined to answer questions about his son at a promotion ceremony for officers earlier this week

Accused: Greg Kelly, right, with his parents Ray - New York City Police Commissioner - and Veronica

'Whether or not the case is provable, leaking the idea that it seems like garbage is really reckless,' he said. 'It is unfortunate and it is dangerous.'

'I'm not answering anything related to that matter,' Commissioner Kelly said at an officer promotion ceremony Friday, the New York Post reported.

'All those questions are for the district attorney.'

The Manhattan DA's office is handling the investigation to avoid any conflict of interest at the NYPD, where Greg Kelly's dad is the top cop.

The Good Day New York presenter, who was absent from his job this week, claims that 'flirtatious' texts from the woman will show the sex was consensual and they met for that purpose only.

An investigator told the New York Daily News: 'That could be the big key. Unless she taped the phone call, whether this guy gets charged could be determined by the texts.'

The phone call referred to is one which the alleged victim claims she made to Kelly after the alleged rape in her downtown Manhattan law office, angrily demanding to know: 'What happened? Why did you do that?'

'It sounds like she got caught [cheating] by her boyfriend, and then he forces her hand: "If you’re not lying, you better report it"'

She claims she was woozy from too much alcohol and doesn't remember parts of the evening but knows they had sex and that she didn't consent to it.

However a source told the Post she then sent him texts afterwards talking about 'doing it again'.



The woman - who has a boyfriend who had a vasectomy - also claims she became pregnant as a result of the sex and had to have an abortion.

It was her boyfriend that is said to have encouraged her to go to the police after first confronting police commissioner Kelly at an event telling him: 'Your son ruined my girlfriend's life.'

Mr Kelly told him to write the allegations in a letter, but no letter was ever sent before the alleged victim walked into a New York police station on Tuesday to report the rape.

New York Mayor: Michael Bloomberg said yesterday he thinks the case has been handled correctly

The DA's office are said to be suspicious of the woman's claims for a number of reasons.

Questions have been raised over the three-month time delay from when the alleged rape took place on October 8 and when she actually reported it, the fact she does not remember most details of the attack, and the fact she stayed in contact with Greg Kelly after he allegedly raped her.

The source told the Post: 'The length of time (she took to complain) is a problem.

'And you don't communicate with someone who raped you.'



Another law-enforcement source said: 'The fact pattern is very suspicious . . . It just reeks of bull sh**.'

The Manhattan district attorney is investigating the serious allegations, as an NYPD probe could be seen as a conflict of interest.

Kelly, a former Fox News correspondent, is cooperating with the investigation, his lawyer, Andrew Lankler, said in an emailed statement.



Greg Kelly 'strenuously denies any wrongdoing of any kind',Mr Lankler said. 'We know that the district attorney's investigation will prove Mr Kelly's innocence.' The lawyer didn't respond to questions about the focus of the investigation.

The woman is said to be a graduate from a prestigious Manhattan private school and is the daughter of a prominent lawyer.



Mayor Bloomberg spoke about the incident Thursday and said it was the 'right call' to turn it over to the DA's office to avoid a conflict of interests.

He said: 'Everyone has a right to have their complaints investigated. I suspect that what happens to Ray Kelly happens to me all the time.



'People are always, while you're walking through a crowd, saying things. When you get to be my age, you can't hear most of them, ' he said, referring to the confrontation between the commissioner and the woman's boyfriend.

'So half the time I have no idea what they're talking about, and the answer is: If you have a complaint to write it, and we take every complaint seriously.



'In this case, I thought the Police Department did exactly what they should do.



'And I also point out that as far as I know, Greg Kelly's not been charged with anything. So I don't know how that's going to turn out.'

Lew Leone, the general manager of the local Fox station, has meanwhile confirmed Kelly 'has requested some time off' while the investigation is underway. He did not elaborate.

His co-host Rosanna Scotto offered support for him, saying today: 'I love Greg. That’s all I can say.'

A friend of the alleged victim’s boyfriend told ABC News that the woman had been ‘an emotional cripple’ since the alleged incident.

Mr Kelly, 43, joined Fox News Channel in 2002 and was the White House correspondent from 2005-2007.



A Marine Corps veteran and reservist, he also covered the Iraq War, including four assignments in Baghdad.

Before that, he covered politics for local cable news channel New York 1 and was an anchor and reporter for NewsChannel 34, an ABC and NBC affiliate in Binghamton, New York.



He also served for nearly a decade in the Marine Corps and is now a lieutenant colonel in its reserves.
