A cop who went undercover — then went under the covers with prostitutes he was investigating — has been stripped of his shield, police sources said Tuesday.

The NYPD suspended Officer Michael Golden without pay this week, about two months after he was accused of having sex with six women while working in undercover prostitution stings in Manhattan.

During a departmental trial in June, the NYPD charged the 32-year-old cop with having sex with the women, groping them and allowing them to touch him sexually.

The steamy sessions happened in hotels, massage parlors and a bar between January and October 2014, the department charged.

“He picked women who he knew he could take advantage of, with the hope nothing would happen to him,” NYPD prosecutor Javier Seymore said during Golden’s administrative trial at police headquarters.

The women came from China, Eastern Europe, the Dominican Republic and other Spanish-speaking countries.

Golden denied the charges, claiming he never got naked or had sex with the women.

Assigned to the narcotics bureau at the time, Golden would pay between $40 and $300 for the sex acts, prosecutors said. Then, a field team made up of fellow officers would burst in and make an arrest, NYPD lawyers claimed.

In one of the incidents, Golden requested two masseuses at once, and paid each woman $80, NYPD lawyers said.

The woman who made the first allegations against Golden said he took her to a hotel where he groped her and exposed himself.

In a third incident, he is accused of meeting a woman at a bar and giving her $140 for sex, department prosecutors said.

Under department rules, undercover cops can strip down to their underwear, but they aren’t allowed to engage in any sex acts with the sting targets.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined to charge Golden based on a lack of witnesses and evidence. Five of the six women have gone back to their home countries.

After the salacious allegations, Golden was transferred from narcotics to a housing bureau, where he was assigned to monitor surveillance cameras until his departmental case was adjudicated.

It was not disclosed how long his suspension will be.

A call to Golden’s attorney, Michael Martinez, was not immediately returned.
