Guy Giammatteo, 33, will appear before Judge Barbara Kahn as she unseals a second indictment charging that he coerced more women whom he confronted or arrested into performing sexual acts, according to law enforcement sources, who were speaking on the condition of anonymity because the indictment is sealed.
It was unclear how many new victims there are in addition to the previous six. Last year, Giammatteo pleaded not guilty to a 14-count indictment charging that between 2002 and 2006 he sought sexual favors from women while wearing the badge.

In one instance, prosecutors said Giammatteo tipped a club owner of an upcoming drug raid in exchange for sex. In another case, they said he solicited sex from prostitutes in his patrol car, and in another they said he propositioned a domestic violence victim.
The first indictment included charges of bribe recving, coercion and official misconduct. He faces a maximum of 21/3 to 7 years in prison on the top count.
Suspended from the Southampton Town police force last year, the five-year veteran has been free on $10,000 cash bail.
His attorney, William Keahon of Islandia, said his client maintains his innocence to all charges and is prepared to go to trial.
