Long Island medic says she was raped by fire chief and captain during a birthday party at the station house and now wants $25million in bombshell lawsuit

A volunteer doctor has filed a $25 million civil lawsuit against two Long Island firefighters, accusing them of sexually assaulting her during a birthday party at the police station.

Amanda Gross Claims Ex-Wantagh Fire Chief Kenneth Kelly, Jr. and Captain Josef Seier got her so drunk that she could not repel their advances.

She had been a volunteer with the department for about six years at the time and was only 27 years old.

‘I thought these people were my friends, but they weren’t. They did the opposite and took advantage of it,” Gross, now 29, told NBC New York.

“They immediately went around the wagons and did what they always try to do: victim shame and victim blaming.”

The allegations stem from the evening of January 14, 2022, when Kelly (pictured here when he was sworn in as chief in 2020) is accused of raping her along with Seier.

Gross claims the men ‘constantly gave her too many alcoholic drinks’ after she arrived at the fire station (pictured) to celebrate Seier’s birthday

According to documents viewed by DailyMail.com, Gross was invited to Wantagh Fire Station 4 on the evening of January 14, 2022, to celebrate Seier’s birthday.

She arrived without alcohol, “at the request of Defendant Seier and his girlfriend,” the complaint states.

However, Gross was reportedly served by both Seier and Kelly upon arrival and “continuously overfed” with alcoholic beverages.

The lawsuit notes that the “serving and controlling of female patrons, including female firefighters, in an effort to make them more vulnerable to attacks by male firefighters, including individual defendants, has been a recurring problem in the district.”

It further alleges that Seier and Kelly “devised a scheme that included making plaintiff so intoxicated that plaintiff would be incapable of consenting to their advances.”

As the night progressed, the lawsuit said, Seier “leaned into the plaintiff and kept his hand on her thigh,” describing both actions as “unwelcome advances.”

Around 2 a.m., Gross heard Kelly tell Seier that the men were “going to wet her like a sponge,” after which Kelly began telling everyone to leave.

It wasn’t until he heard the comment that Gross realized the men were planning to attack her.

The lawsuit alleges that Seier began forcing himself on her when the room was empty, despite Gross’ protests.

The men allegedly told her there were no cameras where they were as they watched her struggle to get away.

According to the document, Seier began to become more aggressive and asked, “Do you want to see this big cock?”

Kelly allegedly intervened and said, “We know you like it,” before claiming Gross would be Seier’s “gift.”

She accuses the men of raping her as she began to slip in and out of consciousness. At one point, Kelly left the firehouse as Seier continued to assault her, the complaint alleges.

Gross heard Kelly (pictured) tell Seier that the men were going to “wet her like a sponge,” after which Kelly began telling everyone to leave the station.

Hours after the attack, Gross received a text from Kelly that read, “It was fun last night. But remember, that’s only forever between you and me and Joe’

The medic accuses Seier and Kelly (center, with fire helmet in hand) of, among other things, assault, battery and negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Gross left around 4 a.m. and received a text from Kelly that read, “Had fun last night. But remember, that’s between you and me and Joe forever.” A screenshot of the message was included in the lawsuit.

Gross’ attorneys claim the brutal attack left her with bruises and several other injuries along her back and in her vagina.

The document also states that Gross continues to suffer from “severe psychological damage and depression, feelings of shame, humiliation, loss of sleep” and other symptoms.

The lawsuit, which seeks damages, accuses both men of assault, battery and negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other things.

It also accuses the Wantagh Fire Department, the Wantagh Fire District and the Board of Commissioners of negligence in failing to protect their personnel by allowing them to come into contact with Seier and Kelly.

The lawsuit came a year after a police report was filed in the aftermath of the attack, but neither of the men were ever criminally charged.

Despite the ongoing legal battle, Gross has continued to volunteer with the department.

“My goal is to make it safe, to create a safe environment for people who join, the people who still work in the department,” she said.

“They can think whatever they want, but as long as I stay strong, everything will be fine.”

Neither Kelly nor Seier still work for the department. The Wantagh Fire District declined to comment, citing pending litigation.
