Westchester County District Attorney Susan Cacace announced today that Carlos Yarborough, 29, of Yonkers, was charged with multiple felonies for allegedly sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in July 2024.
Yarborough was arraigned Tuesday on an indictment charging him with Rape in the First Degree, a class B felony, Criminal Sexual Act in the First Degree, a class B felony, Rape in the Second Degree, a class D felony, Criminal Sexual Act in the Second Degree, a class D felony, Sexual Abuse in the First Degree, a class D felony, and Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree, a class A misdemeanor. The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Judge Robert Prisco continued Yarborough’s remand at the Westchester County Jail and issued a temporary order of protection on behalf of the victim.
DA Cacace said: “The defendant’s conduct, as alleged, is especially abhorrent. He is accused of taking advantage of a vulnerable young girl by resorting to acts of sexual violence. I am grateful that the victim at her young age had the composure to report her abuse to a trusted individual. It is because of this courage that the defendant is now in custody on extremely serious felony charges. No one preying on children will find safe harbor in Westchester County.”
According to the indictment, on or about July 8, 2024, the defendant engaged in sexual intercourse by forcible compulsion and oral sexual conduct by forcible compulsion with a 13-year-old victim. This case was investigated by the Yonkers Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Paige Pirtle, of the Child and Elder Abuse Bureau.
