The woman who claims she was raped by the newsman son of Police Commissioner Ray Kelly is an aspiring model and actress — with a brother in the top cop’s department.
The 29-year-old woman refused to discuss the allegations as she left her paralegal job at a Financial District law firm — the same office where she claimed Fox 5 anchor Greg Kelly sexually assaulted her last October.
The accuser — whose identity is being withheld by The Post — shook her head and walked away when asked about the case, including whether she was happy with how it has been handled by the Manhattan district attorney.
Investigators for DA Cyrus Vance Jr.’s office, including the head of the sex-crimes unit, spent all day Thursday grilling the woman about her story, and believe that she is not credible and that the sex was consensual, sources said.
And there are no witnesses to back up her claims.
“It looks like they’re going to just kick it around until it’s absolutely dead . . . It’s ‘he said, she said,’ ” a source said.
“Everybody [the woman and Kelly] was a happy camper until the boyfriend found out.”
The woman told police that Kelly got her pregnant and that she had an abortion.
Investigators aren’t doubting that story.
They believe her boyfriend grew suspicious because she refused to have sex with him. She finally confessed that she couldn’t sleep with him because she had undergone an abortion.
Angered, the boyfriend confronted Ray Kelly at a public event.
As the DA’s doubts escalated, new details emerged about Greg Kelly’s accuser.
She is a brunette whose brother is a crime-scene investigator for the NYPD.
He’s described by a source as a “hard-nosed hard worker” who had previously worked in the Internal Affairs Bureau.
“We have no comment, thank you,” the sergeant’s wife said at their home.
The accuser has modeling photos on a talent-agency Web site. She is featured in an array of photos, including fashion shots.
The woman’s Facebook page includes photos of her and her boyfriend sitting cozily together.
The unmarried Greg Kelly — a former Marine who co-hosts Fox 5 TV’s “Good Day New York” — has denied raping the woman, and has provided the DA’s Office with text messages that they exchanged after their encounter and which he believes will clear him.
But the 43-year-old Greg Kelly has not denied having sex with her in her law-firm offices after drinking with her in a South Street Seaport bar.
A source said Ray Kelly has seen the bar bill from that night, and has privately said it was “laughably low” — which helps knock down the claim that she was drunk.
The accuser first made the complaint Tuesday at the 13th Precinct station house, and detectives turned the case over to the Manhattan DA to avoid a conflict of interest.
At some point before she went to the cops, her boyfriend accosted the police commissioner at a public function and told him his son “ruined my girlfriend’s life.”
The commissioner told him to write a letter detailing his accusations, though it appears the boyfriend never followed through.
Greg Kelly on Thursday took an indefinite leave of absence from his co-hosting duties on “Good Day New York” on Fox 5.
The station is owned by News Corp., The Post’s parent company.
Ray Kelly yesterday refused to answer repeated questions from reporters about his son.
“You’re gonna have to ask the DA,” the commissioner said. “All those questions are for the district attorney.”
