The paralegal who accused TV host and top-cop son Greg Kelly of rape told police she became pregnant and had an abortion as a result, two police sources said.
It’s unknown if the 30-year-old woman gave investigators any medical records to show she had been pregnant — or whether she had told Kelly about it.
Kelly, 43, the co-host of “Good Day New York” and the son of Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, “strenuously” denied the rape charge through a lawyer.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office is investigating the allegation, and Kelly has not been charged with any crime.
The woman told cops she met Kelly on the street and later had drinks with him at the South Street Seaport on Oct. 8.
She explained that they went back to her Wall St. area law office because her boyfriend was home.
One police source said her story is that she was “out of it” from too much booze and Kelly forced himself on her.
A second source said Kelly claims to have records of calls and text messages that will show any sex was consensual.
The woman did not make a formal report until Tuesday when she walked into the 13th Precinct stationhouse, sources said.
Detectives interviewed her and notified the Chief of Detectives Office when they learned the accused was Greg Kelly.
The case was then turned over to Manhattan DA Cy Vance Jr. — the right call, according to Mayor Bloomberg.
Everyone has a right to have their complaints investigated,” Bloomberg said Thursday.
And I also point out that as far as I know, Greg Kelly's not been charged with anything. So I don't know how that's going to turn out.”
Kelly was a no-show on “Good Day New York,” and Fox 5 said he had “requested some time off.”
Co-host Rosanna Scotto expressed support for her colleague as she walked into the E. 67th St. studio about 5:30 a.m.
I love Greg. That's all I can say," Scotto said.
Good Day New York” ran reports on the rape allegation and noted Greg Kelly’s denial but did not disclose his status with the program.
Although the woman waited more than three months to file a report, her boyfriend alluded to the accusation when he approached the police commissioner at a recent public event.
He said, ‘Your son ruined my girlfriend’s life,’” said NYPD spokesman Paul Browne.
The commissioner said, ‘Well, what do you mean?’ He said he didn’t want to talk about it here, so the commissioner told him to send a letter.”
Browne said it does not appear the man ever sent a letter.
In a statement by his lawyer, Andrew Lankler
, Greg Kelly
denied “any wrongdoing of any kind, and is cooperating fully with the district attorney’s investigation.
We know the district attorney’s investigation will prove Mr. Kelly’s innocence.
