The People of The State of New York v. Destiny Russo





I worked on her indictment today.

She was some catch.

And an NYPD cop thought a just-shy-of-sweet-16 girl would be the perfect match for his little brother - urging him to make a date with pretty Destiny Russo, sources told The Post.

The problem was Officer Shan France had just met Russo - and slapped a set of cuffs on her for alleged robbery and assault, the sources said.

"My brother gave me your information and said we should hook up," an eager-to-be-smitten, 17-year-old Javal France wrote on Russo's MySpace page, according to a source who quoted the exchange.

But Russo wasn't feeling the love - and told her lawyer about the bizarre contact.

Law-enforcement sources said the NYPD is now looking into the allegation against the older France, who once competed in track events for the Guyana national Olympic team in 2000.

The 27-year-old cop also previously played wide receiver on the NYPD's football team, where he was known by the nickname "Speedy" and for his habit of wearing gold shoes.

France denied telling his brother to contact Russo. When pressed, he said: "I have to contact my Police Department."

The younger France flat-out denied the allegation, declaring, "It never happened."

France had busted Russo and her pal, Donna Rice, whose age wasn't clear, last July 24 in connection with an alleged robbery and assault of a 15-year-old girl in Woodhaven, Queens.

According to the criminal complaint, the victim reported that an unidentified woman grabbed and pulled her hair, punched her several times and threw her to the ground.

Russo and Rice then allegedly joined the fray, punching and kicking the victim in the face, head and back - before Rice allegedly grabbed $7 from the victim's hand and from inside her bra. Rice allegedly held the victim by the hair while she was stripped naked and forced to run home nude.

The felony criminal case against Russo and Rice remains pending. They're disputing the charges.

A Queens District Attorney spokesman refused to comment on claims the cop passed along information about Russo to his baby brother.

Russo's lawyer, Melody Glover, declined to comment. The teenager could not be reached.
