HIs arrest is the result of an Internal Affairs investigation.

Authorities say an off-duty NYPD sergeant was arrested for allegedly raping an underage girl yesterday. 

According to NBC New York, Vladimir Krull carried out the relationship with the girl, who police claim is under the age of 17, for an extended period of time. Worse, NBC New York adds that she's the daughter of a woman that the sergeant knew. CBS New York reports that the 37-year-old was arrested in Queens following an Internal Affairs investigation.

Krull, who was assigned to the midtown north precinct, faces charges for rape, sexual misconduct, forcible touching, sex abuse, criminal sex acts, and endangering the welfare of a child. 

He's since been suspended without pay.
