🌱 Center Moriches-Eastport Daily: 20 Years For Sexual Child Abuse

Good morning, everybody. It's me, Diane Witek, your host of the Center Moriches-Eastport Daily, here to impart all the most important things happening in the community today.

First, today's weather:

Some sun, windy and cooler. High: 71, low: 54.

Here are the top stories in Center Moriches-Eastport today:

1. Angel Tacuri, age 53, of Patchogue, will spend 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple sex crimes, including sexual conduct against a child. He abused children enrolled at his wife’s unlicensed day care. He will spend an additional 20 years of supervised release, according to the Suffolk County DA’s office. (Daily Voice)
2. See the Suffolk Arrest Report dated June 17. All seven precincts list arrests taken place on Long Island. (Patch)
3. Sunday, New York Marine Rescue Center and Atlantic Marine Conservation Society rushed to Brooklyn to save a stranded "pygmy sperm whale, or Kogia breviceps," which is not found in our waters. After several attempts to push the whale out to sea, it was decided that euthanasia was the best course of action for the compromised whale. (Riverhead Patch)
4. Still looking for places to go out and treat dad for Father's Day? Check out LongIsland.com for restaurant ideas for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Either way, he is going to love it. (LongIsland.com)
