CONTROVERSY > Did Bill O'Reilly Misuse the Police to Investigate His Wife's Affair?

Gawker recently published a controversial piece alleging that Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly had a veteran detective with the Nassau County Police Department in Long Island assigned to investigate his wife's personal life.

According to the website, Richard Harasym, who has been with the force for 23 years (and working as an elite internal affairs detective for the last 12), was told last summer to see to a private investigation, issued by O'Reilly, regarding an NCPD officer who was supposedly having an affair with O'Reilly's wife.

Now, it's pretty clear that something is going on between O'Reilly and his wife. Several sources have reported that Mrs. O'Reilly moved into a different house registered to her name, and has transferred her voter registration to the new location.

But none of that is what makes this story controversial.

Gawker claims the reason O'Reilly was able to get Harasym on the case is because the anchor was "considering making a major donation to the Nassau County Police Department Foundation."

If that turns out to be true, the story could be a major blow to O'Reilly's reputation.

However, no one has gotten a hold of Harasym just yet, and given the fact that his whole job is to sniff out crooked cops, it seems odd that the detective would take a crooked assignment like that sitting down.

Gawker says its source was "someone who has a longstanding personal relationship with Harasym, and who heard the account directly from Harasym himself."

The source claims Harasym said, "Do you know Bill O'Reilly? I got called into my boss's office saying they wanted me to meet with these two PI's working for O'Reilly to go over some information because a detective was having an affair with O'Reilly's wife."

But until we hear it straight from Harasym's mouth, we have to leave this in the rumor pile.

    They were investigating another cop who is most likely having affair with the wife of a celebrity. Nothing wrong with that. Cops should not be having affairs and only stupid cops would have an affair with the wife of a celebrity. SO stupid cops should be called on it. Cheating cops are crooked cops.

    None of the above. I don't know what are the facts yet. BUT...

    Harasym ought to get to work solve the L.I. serial murders down at the beach instead of following Mrs. O'Reilly around.

    Have no idea, but misusing anything is wrong no matter which way you look at it. Are he and his wife still married? If not, then I guess she can do what she wants, but if married and messing around...that's another story. But, I hope both are happlly marrried and any problems they're having they will work out.

    It seems fairly obvious that O'Reilly has problems working and living with women, what with the sexual harassment suit filed against him in 2004. While the terms of that agreement are still under wraps, it seems likely that O'Reilly paid out several million dollars to the woman who was accusing him of unwanted sexual advances.

    Now his wife, who I'm sure is just as tired of him as many are, is supposedly being investigated by a detective on Long Island, investigating her possible affair with yet another cop.

    Did O'Reilly consider making a large donation to the same police department where the the detective works?

    It wouldn't surprise me. He's already shown that he'll consider paying off people to get what he wants.

    If true, it sounds kind of gross - but in the end, money will likely always have influence, and in the end it is up to the public official or representative to RESIST the influence.

    It is not possible for O'Reilly to assign police to cases of any kind. He's not in a position of any authority over any policeman.

    On the other hand, any cop having an affair with O'Reilly's wife and getting caught risks losing his job because of violating conduct clauses.

    He wanted Internal Affairs to talk to the police officer having an affair with his wife not join in the investigation. It is a legal request he made to Internal Affairs to investigate an officer if that said office is doing some thing that reflects poorly on the police department. That it is the Internal Affairs job to investigate all complaints no matter how stupid they may be.

    Haha! Who cares?! At least he was willing to part with a sizable chunk of his own money in return for the detective's time. Hell, Harasym could have simply said no. Turn your eyes toward D.C. and see REAL waste and misuse.
