Rockland County Jail Guard Admits To Having Large Child Pornography Stash

NEW CITY, NY — A jail guard who was arrested with a huge cache of child sex abuse material will go to prison.

Rockland County District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II announced on Tuesday that 45-year-old Daniel Dworkin, of Valley Cottage, pleaded guilty to 64 counts of promoting a sexual performance by a child and 64 counts of possessing a sexual performance by a child.

Dworkin is scheduled for sentencing on Jan. 20, and will be required to register as a sex offender upon release from prison.

Between February 21, 2024, and June 19, 2024, Dworkin uploaded several images and videos on his Google Drive account which depicted sexual performances by children under the age of 17.

While prosecutors requested the maximum sentence of up to seven years in state prison, the presiding judge offered one to three years in state prison.

"The defendant pleaded guilty to all counts and accepted the judge's offer of one to three years in state prison," Walsh said. "This sentence was not agreed to by The People and we believe it falls short of holding a predator fully accountable."

The investigation was conducted by the Rockland County District Attorney's Office Special Victims Unit with assistance from the Clarkstown Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Supervising Assistant DA Gerard M. Damiani III of the Special Victims Unit.
