She had an affair wi
th a cop — and now she wants taxpayers to foot the bill.
The mistress of a married Nassau County cop — who enjoyed more than 100 nights with him while he was on duty — is threatening to sue the county for $10 million because it didn’t prevent the couple’s steamy romance.
Sexy Wall Street exec Tara Obenauer, 42, has filed a notice of claim saying that she intends to sue Nassau County and the Police Department because officials were “negligent” for not keeping Officer Mike Tedesco from visiting her house while he was on duty.
“As a result of the County and Tedesco’s negligent and intentional acts, Claimant has suffered and sustained severe and substantial emotional damages,” the notice of claim said.
Nassau County Attorney John Ciampoli is flabbergasted that officials are being blamed for not chaperoning the couple’s sex romps.
“I think this is a claim that just about defies imagination,” he said.
“I just think it’s rather ironic that she’s filing a notice of claim against the county,” he added. “Because, based on what has been reported in the press, she was receiving from the county Police Department a lot more than others were receiving.”
As The Post first reported in April, Obernauer carried on the tawdry affair with Tedesco at her Massapequa home while he was on duty and his police cruiser was parked in her driveway.
The 43-year-old Tedesco — who retired from the force in April — blew off police calls while he was with Obernauer, leaving other officers to cover for him.
He even had a name for his helpers, “assist bitches,” Obernauer said.
Obernauer refused to comment yesterday, but in April she told The Post: “He was cheating on the county, and he was cheating on me, and he did the same thing to his own wife and children.’’
Her notice of claim says, “Tedesco was a frequent visitor to [her] residence while on duty, brazenly displaying his disrespect for the police force.”
The couple’s hook-ups ended in February, after a neighbor called police to report that Tedesco’s police cruiser was parked outside day after day.
A short time later, Internal Affairs officers interviewed Obernauer. In her claim, she says Tedesco later called screaming “don’t f—kwith my job and don’t f–k with my family.”
She eventually took out an order of protection against the officer.
Now she says she “continues to fear for her and her children’s lives and safety” and is “too scared to leave her house, fearing Tedesco or other officers may retaliate against her.”
The notice of claim also named Tedesco.
