He's a Peeping Tom — with a badge.
An off-duty NYPD officer was arrested Friday and charged with using a surveillance camera to spy on a young woman in his Bronx building, police said.
Police Officer Miguel Gomez, 41, who has been on the force for eight years, set up his spy cam inside the building so he could monitor the 21-year-old’s comings and goings, police sources said.
He was arrested shortly after 8 a.m. Friday and booked for unlawful surveillance. Cops recovered the camera, police said.
A woman who identified herself as Gomez’s mother vigorously defended her son.
“My son is a very good boy and wouldn’t do a thing like that,” Juliana Gomez, 67, told the Daily News Saturday night, and refused to answer follow-up questions.
Police officials would not disclose Gomez’s relationship to the victim or where in the building the camera was positioned.
It was also unclear if he was recording footage of the young woman.
A police source said Gomez didn’t use NYPD equipment in his spy game.
“If he did, he would definitely face additional charges,” a police source said.
Gomez joined the force in 2005 and has spent most of his career in the Bronx, officials said.
The arrest marks the latest black eye for the NYPD.
The lurid trial of “Cannibal Cop” Gilberto Valle — who was convicted of conspiring to kidnap, cook and eat women — has drawn embarrassing headlines for weeks.
A Manhattan jury found Valle, a 28-year-old married father, guilty of the gruesome plot last Tuesday.
Like Gomez, Valle’s use of technology led to his undoing.
Valle’s family computer was loaded with crime-scene pictures of dead and mutilated women; twisted photos of ladies being tortured and segxwally assaulted; and Google searches for phrases like, “human meat recipes.”
Valle, who is facing the possibility of life behind bars, was also found guilty of illegally accessing a federal law enforcement database to look up information on one of his targets.
