A high-ranking Bronx cop charged criminally with sexually assaulting a female officer was honored by ministers at a Thursday dinner, where he professed his innocence and claimed he “never, ever” had to force himself on a woman — because he’s good-looking enough.

“I’m far from a top model, but I never, ever in my life had to force myself on a woman, or force myself to do anything — trust me,” Deputy Inspector Keith Walton said at a ceremony in Allerton where he was honored by the 49th police precinct Clergy Council.

“I’m not running nowhere, I’m not going nowhere.”

Walton — the precinct’s commanding officer who was also placed on suspension when he was charged last November — was cited by the ministers for his “time, talent, dedication and service in breaking barriers and bridging the gaps in our communities.”

The crowd included four members from the Bronx district attorneys office, three of whom were also recognized. They all applauded when Walton was honored.

Walton was charged with felony sex abuse as well as misdemeanor charges of official misconduct and forcible touching. Prosecutors claim Walton preyed on a woman in his command, calling her into his office and then grabbing her hand and placing it on his crotch.

He was also suspended with pay.

“The circumstances are unfortunate, I have no choice but let the process run its course,” Walton told Thursday’s gathering. “It’s truly a pleasure and an honor to stand before this community. I gave everything I have to this community,” Walton told the crowd.

A law enforcement source said it was hypocritical for members of the Bronx district attorney’s office to attend.

“Think about the hypocricy of the moment,” the source said. “The same office that’s prosecuting the guy for a violent sex crime is standing up and applauding this guy as a fellow member of law enforcement being recognized by the community. Do they really believe in their own case?”

Walton broke up with his longtime, live-in girlfriend earlier this year, and is currently embroiled in a custody battle over their 16-year-old son, sources said.
