Walden Man Sentenced For Forcing Teen To Perform Sex Act

WALDEN, NY — A Walden man will be going to prison for forcing a teenager to perform a sex act in a parking lot.

Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah said Christopher Daqui, 32, was sentenced Thursday to nine years in state prison, with 20 years of post-release supervision.

He pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual act, a felony, after being accused of forcing a 16-year-old to perform a sex act in an Ossining parking lot.

Prosecutors said, shortly before 11:30 p.m. Sept. 10, 2021, Daqui brandished what appeared to be a handgun and forced the minor victim, who was a stranger, to perform oral sex on him in a secluded parking lot on South Highland Avenue in Ossining.

The victim reported the incident to the police shortly thereafter.

The Montgomery Town Police Department arrested Daqui at his home Sept. 17, 2021, following an investigation by the Ossining Police Department, with assistance from the Westchester County Department of Laboratories and Research.

He pleaded guilty Sept. 8.

Daqui will also be required to register as a sex offender upon completion of his prison sentence.
