A renegade NYPD cop tried to force a teenage girl to perform a sex act after he discovered her in a city park after closing time, prosecutors said Friday.

Wilfredo Rosario also sexually assaulted a woman who asked him about applying to be a school crossing guard - and he is believed to have preyed on others, the prosecutors said.

Rosario, a 10-year NYPD veteran and former Marine, was arraigned yesterday on charges of misconduct, attempted coercion, sexual abuse and unlawful imprisonment covering both cases.

The officer - whose car license plate reads TRNG DAY after the movie "Training Day," in which Denzel Washington plays a corrupt cop - allegedly approached the 18-year-old in Riverside Park in 2002.

He threatened to give her a summons and tell her parents "unless she agreed to oral sex," Assistant District Attorney Mark Crooks told Manhattan Supreme Court Daniel FitzGerald.

The teen refused and made a formal complaint to the NYPD, but no action was taken, Crooks said.

This year, while a community affairs officer in Harlem, Rosario lured a woman into his car and molested her after she asked for information about becoming a crossing guard, Crooks said.

When that alleged victim complained to police, the earlier case was revived.

The prosecutor added, "There are other victims out there."

Investigators are asking other victims to contact them at (212) 335-8905.

Rosario's bail was set at $10,000, and he was ordered not to contact his alleged victims.

He has been suspended from the NYPD.

Rookie cop charged in Pa. bank job linked to 2 New York City holdups

The jailed NYPD rookie accused of stealing $113,000 from a Pennsylvania bank was a one-cop crime wave, pulling two earlier heists in Manhattan, authorities said Friday.

A month before he joined the NYPD, Christian Torres robbed a Sovereign Bank on Avenue A in the East Village on June 8, 2007, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.

Torres, 21, made off with $16,305 after he passed a note to a teller just after the branch opened.

Donning a matching suit and tie, stylish sunglasses and a fashionable skullcap, Torres returned to the same branch the morning of Nov. 16 and stole $102,000 after he flashed what appeared to be a gun at clerks, Kelly said.

Though Torres' image - and slick wardrobe - was captured on a bank surveillance camera and distributed to the media, his crime spree did not end until he was nabbed at another Sovereign Bank in Muhlenberg, Pa., Thursday morning.

The disgraced transit cop - who makes $32,800 a year - told NYPD investigators he used the bank loot to buy a new car and get his fiancée a fancy engagement ring.

"He made certain admissions," Kelly said. "He said he was getting married."

Torres bought a 2008 Toyota Scion - paying $18,500 in cash - just hours after his November bank heist, Kelly said. The transit cop also recently bought a 1.5-carat diamond ring for his girlfriend, Jennifer Rivas.

An NYPD source described Rivas, a New York City College of Technology student whom Torres met online, as "stunning and stunned."

Torres has not been charged in the New York robberies, but will be after the Pennsylvania proceedings, Kelly said.

Kelly defended the NYPD's cadet screening program, saying there was nothing in Torres' apparently pristine background that could have tipped investigators to his criminal ways.

"He was a model cadet, as described to me," Kelly said. "There is nothing that could have predicted this shocking series of crimes."

Torres grew up in the Bronx and received a scholarship to Rye Country Day School, one of the region's most elite prep schools where tuition for a single year of classes costs $27,500.

After graduating with a 3.6 GPA, he enrolled at Manhattan's John Jay College of Criminal Justice and worked a series of part-time jobs to help pay bills, including stints as a waiter at an Outback Steakhouse and a security guard at Bloomingdale's, Kelly said.

After receiving stellar recommendations as part of the NYPD's cadet program, Torres enrolled in the Police Academy and became a full-fledged transit cop in January.

The Pennsylvania cop who busted him said Torres betrayed his badge.

"They [dirty cops] are definitely bad for the profession," said Muhlenberg Police Officer Christopher Orzech, who nabbed Torres moments after the last heist. "We are held to a higher standard."

A suit-wearing Torres brandished a Glock to make off with stacks of bills but was unaware a teller triggered a silent alarm, Orzech said.

Orzech watched Torres drive off in his Scion - with its license plates purposely obscured - and then pulled him over a block later after the car made an illegal left-turn.

"You're stopping me because I made a left turn?" Orzech recalled Torres saying. After Torres was identified by one of the bank tellers, Orzech searched the Scion to find a blond wig, cash and the fake imitation pistol believed to have been used in the November robbery.

Torres then identified himself as a NYPD officer and showed his badge.

"I thought it was fake," Orzech said.

Torres, who made seven arrests this year, is on suicide watch in a small Berks County jail cell, officials said.

His mother declined to speak outside the jail, but Torres' neighbors in Woodhaven, Queens, were stunned.

"It's insane. I wouldn't expect it," said Chris Salcedo, 20.

Next-door neighbor Scott Alnwick, 17, said, "But I'm not mad. He did what he did [and] I'll be friends with him - just don't rob me."
