AdvertisementBy New York Daily NewsMar 04, 2021 at 2:00 pmA Brooklyn anti-crime patrol founder has been arrested and charged with coercing a 15-year-old girl to engage in illicit sexual conduct, federal prosecutors said Thursday.Jacob Daskal, 62, was arrested Thursday morning on a federal indictment charging him with transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and traveling with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct.AdvertisementDaskal is the founder of the Hasidic anti-crime patrol Shomrim Society in Borough Park.In 2018, He was arrested then for the alleged abuse that authorities said took place at Daskal’s Brooklyn home.AdvertisementThe federal case filed against Daskal Thursday was for the same crimes, according to a law enforcement source.Daskal’s lawyer, Henry Mazurek, called the new charges were “largely redundant.”New evidence against Daskal, revealed that he traveled out of New York to rape the victim who was 45 years younger than him at the time, federal prosecutors allege.He went to Chicago for a ten-hour tryst with the girl in a hotel room in the fall of 2017, prosecutors said.“The purpose of this trip was solely to have sex with this minor victim,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Erin Reid.“We believe that this defendant, who crossed state lines to allegedly sexually assault a child, should be held fully accountable for his alleged conduct and we therefore worked with the federal authorities to bring charges in federal court, where the potential punishment is more severe,” said a spokesman for Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.WeekdaysCatch up on the day’s top five stories every weekday afternoon. &gt; State prosecutors plan to drop their case against Daskal so the federal case can move forward, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.The sexual abuse allegedly took place between June and November 2017, with Daskal taking advantage of the girl at his homes in Brooklyn and South Fallsburg, in Sullivan County.AdvertisementWhen the girl moved to Chicago, the two texted and Daskal had her pose naked during video chats, and send nude pictures, prosecutors said.He told the girl he loved her and told her not to tell anyone of their relationship, according to the feds.“The victim was afraid of the defendant because of his position of power in her community,” Reid wrote in court papers asking that Daskal be held without bail before his trial.If convicted, Daskal faces a mandatory minimum of ten years and up to life in prison.He was released Thursday by Federal Magistrate Judge Peggy Kuo on a $4.5 million bond secured by some of his eight children and family properties.
