An NYPD rookie assigned to Queens is under internal review after officials became aware of explicit content tied to an OnlyFans account connected to her names.
According to The New York Post, Police Officer Dannah Battino, 28, joined the NYPD in April 2025 and is currently assigned to the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst. According to multiple law enforcement sources, the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau is examining whether Battino violated NYPD rules by maintaining a subscription-based OnlyFans account that featured sexually explicit material.
Because she is still within her two-year probationary period, the review could result in termination.
Battino previously worked as an FDNY emergency medical technician before entering the police academy. The OnlyFans account has since been taken offline after images began circulating among members of the department. It remains unclear when the account was last active or how much income, if any, was generated through the platform.
Under NYPD policy, applicants are required to disclose all sources of income during the hiring process. A retired high-ranking NYPD official said failure to do so can be grounds for dismissal. “Failure to disclose all ways that you made money could be sufficient reason to terminate,” the official said, adding that it would be “surprising” if an active subscription account generated no revenue at all.
The case has also prompted scrutiny of the department’s background checks, which typically include reviews of social media and online activity. There have been some questions as to why the account was not flagged earlier, and why content that later circulated internally was not discovered during the vetting stage.
Other officials emphasized standards and image. “We are paramilitary and we have to have some kind of standard to be a police officer,” one NYPD source said, while another added that Battino “shouldn’t be on the job.”
The Police Benevolent Association pushed back against that view, defending the officer on the grounds that no laws were broken.
PBA President Patrick Hendry said, “If she did not do anything illegal or anything that impacts her ability to perform her duties, then it’s nobody’s business but her own. It’s shameful that her personal information is being dumped out into public view.”
The NYPD confirmed that the matter is “under internal review.” Battino could not be reached for comment.
