Rockland County Corrections Officer Arrested on Child Sex Abuse Material Charges

**Rockland County, NY** – Daniel Dworkin, 44, of Valley Cottage, New York and a Sergeant at the Rockland County Jail, was arrested Monday. The Rockland County District Attorney’s Office charged him with 51 counts each of promoting and possessing a sexual performance by a child.

The case began with a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, leading to searches of Dworkin’s residence and electronic devices. The investigation was conducted by the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and included local law enforcement support.

District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II expressed the seriousness of the charges, given Dworkin’s role in law enforcement. He affirmed a commitment to child protection and accountability in the legal process.

Dworkin was arraigned in Clarkstown Justice Court, where bail was set at $500,000 cash, $1 million bond, or $1.5 million partially secured bond. The proceedings will continue on November 25, with Gerard M. Damiani III and Joseph Santangelo as prosecutors.
