The prosecutors’ table looked more like a sex toy sample sale Tuesday at the trial of a New Jersey man charged with convincing a Brooklyn teen that she was legally bound to have sex with him.
Brooklyn federal prosecutors said Gregory Schaffer offered the girl, whom was 15 at the time, a nonexistent retail job and then told her that she had unwittingly signed a “sex contract” that compelled her to romp with him.
Scared that he was going to sue her and her family for breach of contract, the underage girl complied with his sick demands in March 2012, prosecutors said.
A swarm of agents raided Schaffer’s Jersey City “office” after the incident and found a trove of sex toys including a penis pump, a sex swing, prosthetic genitalia and lubricant, prosecutors said.
Judge Allyne Ross barred the jury from viewing handcuffs and restraints that were allegedly found at the office because the items were deemed too inflammatory.
But jurors watched with queasy unease as a federal agent precisely described each and every sex toy they found in the unkempt office.
Prosecutors also presented a series of disturbing videos that allegedly showed Schaffer coaxing visibly nervous girls into disrobing. At least one of the girls was 15 at the time, prosecutors said.
Schaffer, 35, even promised one girl court-side seats to Knicks and Nets games, allegedly if she complied with his sex requests.
He is facing sexual enticement and coercion raps in connection with his alleged seduction of the Brooklyn teen.
