In 2017, former reality show star Vincent Parco was hired by the accused man, Samuel Israel, of Borough Par, who is also a relative of he accuser, to make sure the now-adult woman didn’t testify, according to the Brooklyn DA’s Office.
A former reality TV private investigator is set to go to trial for an alleged blackmail scheme in which he is accused of secretly recording a sex tape to try and stop a woman from testifying against one of his clients.
Parco, who was the star of Parco, P.I. TV series that aired in 2005, is accused of trying to silence a woman into not cooperating in the prosecution of a man who sexually abused her as a child.
Parco, 69, is scheduled to face a New York court on Monday after being charged with unlawful surveillance, promoting prostitution and tampering with a witness.
Prosecutors say Samuel Israel hired Vincent Parco in 2016 to secretly film a hotel sex encounter between a prostitute and a relative of the sex abuse victim
At the time, Assistant District Attorney Adam Libove said “[Parco] told investigators he’s done this many times before — that is, has a woman meet somebody, videotapes them having sex, and that video is used to discredit them in court”.
Prosecutors say Israel hired Parco as his private investigator after he was charged in 2016 for sexually abusing the woman when she was 12 years old.
At the time of his arrest, the alleged rapist Samuel Israel rejected a plea deal that would have seen him jailed for five years.
He was banned from contacting the victim or her family after an order of protection was issued.
Israel allegedly enlisted Parco’s services so he could record the embarrassing video images of the family member in the hotel room to allegedly get the victim to stop cooperating against Israel.
The private investigator was allegedly paid $17,000 by his client and sex abuser Samuel Israel, to secretly film a hotel sex encounter between a prostitute and a relative of the sex abuse victim back in 2017.
Prosecutors claim Parco allegedly asked Tanya Freudenthaler to lure the family member to a hotel room in Sunset Park in Brooklyn in December 2016 where secret cameras had been installed.

When Israel appeared in court just weeks later, he rejected the same plea deal.
Two weeks later, the family member who was filmed engaging with the prostitutes was approached by a stranger who allegedly showed him a video of the encounter and told him: ‘Be smart. Stop making trouble.’
Just days before Israel’s trial date in June 2017, a stranger approached a different family member and showed them the video from the hotel.
The incidents were reported to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office.
Authorities said they later found videos of the hotel room encounter on Parco’s office computer and he subsequently admitted that he was hired by Israel.

“Parco’s actions and statement demonstrate that he’s repeatedly and deliberately impaired the the integrity of the court system,” ADA Adam said.
Parco, Israel and Freudenthaler were all indicted in the alleged blackmail attempt in September 2017.
Israel pled guilty last year and was sentenced to eight years in prison for witness tampering and criminal sexual act involving the victim.
Parco has maintained his innocence.
