Two NYPD detectives indicted for raping an 18-year-old girl while she was in their custody both resigned from the force Monday, police say.
Detectives Eddie Martins and Richard Hall were indicted on the charges in October.
Prosecutors say a rape kit tested positive for the DNA of the two detectives after the teen claimed both men raped her inside of their police van.
Both officers were assigned to the Brooklyn South Narcotics Division.
If convicted, they both face up to 25 years in prison.
