Rockland County District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II announced today the arrest of Daniel Dworkin, 44 of Valley Cottage, New York, a correctional officer Sergeant at the Rockland County Jail. Dworkin was arrested by the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office on November 21, 2024, and charged with fifty -one (51) counts of promoting a sexual performance by a child (PL. 263.15) and fifty-one (51) counts of possessing a sexual performance by a child (PL. 263.16).
This investigation was started by an online cyber tip report from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children which was then turned over to the ICAC regional task force here at Rockland County District Attorney’s Office. The investigation led to the execution of search warrants for the defendant’s home and electronic devices.
District Attorney Tom Walsh said, “As the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of Rockland County, it saddens me to announce today’s arrest of Daniel Dworkin, a Rockland County Sheriff’s Corrections Sergeant at the Rockland County Jail. My Office is committed to protecting the most vulnerable members of our community—our children. Upon taking office as District Attorney, the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office became a member of the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC). The mission of the ICAC Task Force is to protect children by identifying individuals online who are attempting to lure children to meet for sex or those disseminating child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The charges against this individual are deeply disturbing, particularly given his position of public trust. Those who exploit or endanger children will be held fully accountable for their actions.
I commend the continued integrity and professionalism of my Office’s investigators and prosecutors who work tirelessly to investigate and apprehend individuals who are violating the law. The residents of Rockland County should know that the men and women of the Rockland County Corrections Division of the County Jail are true professionals. The actions of this individual in no way reflect the values and dedication shown everyday by those officers.”
The investigation was conducted by the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC), a group comprised of the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office, New York State Police, Federal Agencies, and other local law enforcement who work together to identify and prosecute individuals who prey on children using the internet. The Clarkstown Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations assisted with the case.
Dworkin was arraigned in Clarkstown Justice Court by the Honorable Leslie Kahn. Bail was set at $500,000 cash, $1 million bond, $1.5 million partially secured bond with 10 percent down.
It should be noted that a criminal complaint is merely an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
