Toms River Cop Accused In Attack On Ex, New Girlfriend Headed To Mental Health Facility

Article here. Excerpt:

'A Toms River police officer charged with attacking her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend has been released from jail on the charges, but only to allow her to attend an in-patient mental health treatment program, a judge has ruled.

Rebecca A. Sayegh, 32, was expected to board a flight Friday evening for an out-of-state facility operated by Shatterproof, a mental health treatment program that specializes in treating law enforcement officers, said Terrance Turnbach, her attorney.

Superior Court Judge Pamela Snyder agreed to allow Sayegh to be released to attend the program, which is 30 to 90 days of in-patient treatment.

Berkeley Township police initially released her, but she was re-arrested Monday because home invasion burglary is a first-degree charge that comes with a presumption of a warrant, authorities said during the hearing.'

'Sayegh sued her department six months ago alleging she was sexually harassed by her former Captain Shaun O'Keefe. The claims against O'Keefe were later dismissed, while her lawsuit against the department is still pending.

The cop claimed that the department's leaders were a 'Boy's Club' that passed her over for promotions and allowed O'Keefe to 'shamelessly' pursue her, which he denied.'
