A detective who allegedly leaked the mug shot of Cuba Gooding Jr. to an entertainment website has been stripped of his gun and badge, according to three police sources.
Detective Josh Ulan, known for his role in the Peter Braunstein kidnapping and sex-torture case from the 2000s, was placed on administrative duty Tuesday as an internal investigation continued, the sources said.
Ulan is accused of handing over the “Jerry Maguire” star’s booking photo to Rolling Out in June when Gooding turned himself into authorities over groping allegations.
The actor has since been indicted on a number of criminal charges in connection to three women accusing him of sexual misconduct.
A spokeswoman for the NYPD told The Post, “This matter is under internal review.”
“The NYPD’s Special Victims Division is committed to doing everything possible to ensure survivors of sexual assault feel the safety and support needed to come forward, bravely share their experiences, and help the NYPD bring to justice those who have committed these horrific crimes,” Devora Kaye, the department’s acting deputy commissioner of public information, said in the statement.
Ulan could not be reached for comment.
