‘She wanted to be choked,’ NJ man tells pal after fatal sex romp: court docs

A 21-year-old man charged in the death of an NJ woman during rough car sex told a friend the 19-year-old “wanted to be choked,” court documents show.

Francis Victoria Garcia, of Maywood, and beau-turned-suspect Michael Gaffney, also of Maywood, had met through mutual friends and chatted on social media before planning to attend a wild Halloween party Friday night, according to court records.

The two ducked out of the party on the 14th floor of a luxury high-rise apartment complex, at 140 Prospect Ave. in Hackensack, early Saturday morning to “hang out” in her car in a parking garage, court documents say.

At one point during their 20-minute sex romp in her back seat, Gaffney choked Garcia, the court papers say.

After the woman passed out, Gaffney called his friend to come down to the car, the papers say.

The friend told police Garcia’s “lips were purple” but “he could feel air coming out of her nose,” according to the documents.

Gaffney told the friend, “I choked her. She wanted to be choked,” the court papers show.

Police got a 911 call about Garcia just before 2:15 a.m. and charged Gaffney with reckless manslaughter by Saturday night.

Garcia, whose blood-alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit, died due to “neck compression,” the medical examiner ruled, according to the court documents.
