Rockland County District Attorney Tom Walsh announced an additional felony indictment of a Rockland County Corrections Officer stemming from a continuing investigation into criminal activity inside of the Rockland County Jail. The additional felony charges were handed down by a Rockland County Grand Jury late last week.

John Kezek, 35, of Knoxville, Tennessee, formerly of Florida, NY turned himself into Rockland County District Attorneyโ€™s Office. Kezek was indicted on Criminal Sexual Act 1st (B felony), Criminal Sexual Act 3rd(E felony) and Official Misconduct (A misdemeanor). The charges were based on allegations made by a female victim who came into contact with Kezek while working in his official capacity.

“Due to the nature of the crimes and to protect the identity of the victim, very limited information can be released at this time. We ask that any person who may have been a victim, a witness, or anyone who has information to these incidents, please send an anonymous tip by downloading the RocklandCO DA Tip 411 app (available in the APP store or Google Play) or contact local law enforcement. You can also text the keyword ROCKLANDCODA to 847411, type in your tip information and hit send.”

Rockland County District Attorney Tom Walsh said, โ€œThe latest indictments of Mr. Kezek reveal an evil course of conduct, leaving the victims to put their lives back together. My office will continue to pursue justice for the victims of sexual crimes. Rockland will not tolerate this horrific behavior. I would like to personally thank Rockland County Sheriff Lou Falco for his assistance in this investigation.โ€

New City, NY โ€” Authorities in Rockland County have arrested a Nyack resident in connection with the use of a fake home improvement license, following a joint investigation by the Sheriffโ€™s Office and the County Department of Consumer Protection.

Christian C. Kolarz, 48, faces felony charges of Second-Degree Forgery and Second-Degree Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument. Investigators allege that Kolarz created and attempted to use a counterfeit Rockland County Home Improvement License to fraudulently secure financing for a construction project.

The forged document came to light thanks to a coordinated effort by the Sheriffโ€™s Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Consumer Protection investigators. Kolarz was taken into custody on April 18, arraigned in Clarkstown Justice Court, and released on his own recognizance. He is scheduled to appear in court again on May 12.

Rockland County Executive Ed Day praised the collaboration between agencies, stating, โ€œThis joint effort is a prime example of how working together keeps Rockland safe. It sends a strong message: fraud will not be tolerated.โ€

Sheriff Louis Falco echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the importance of interagency cooperation in protecting residents from scams. โ€œWeโ€™re committed to pursuing those who attempt to take advantage of our community,โ€ he said.

Consumer Protection Director Kimberly Von Ronn added that the misuse of official county documents is a serious matter. โ€œLet this serve as a warningโ€”we will take action to protect families and businesses from fraud.โ€
