A letter obtained by Yonkerstimes.com shows that a “Senior Member” of Westchester County District Attorney Mimi Rocah’s staff, “was given notice of the allegations against (Anand) Singh on several occasions by Westchester County government members and staff, the earliest which occurred in December 2022.”
Anand Singh was an employee of the Westchester County Board of Legislators when he was caught in an internet sting where he was recorded trying to have sex with a 14-year old girl. After several hours of graphic texting, phone calls and photo sharing, Singh drove three hours to New Jersey to meet the young girl, who was actually a decoy, working for OBL Global. The video was livestreamed in December of 2022, but didn’t reemerge until April 2023. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE2F2vHXZ4c
Singh was kept on until April; he was arrested by the FBI in May. Now comes word that someone in Rocah’s office had knowledge of Singh but did nothing about it. First reported in the Yonkers Ledger https://www.theyonkersledger.com/news/westchester-da-mimi-rocah-investigating-legislators-over-child-sex-predator-scandal/3226/, and in a letter later obtained by Yonkerstimes.com, Chief ADA Amy Finz writes to Frederick Sullivan at the Westchester County Law Department that Rocah’s office, ” has referred the matter to another prosecutor’s office, that will conduct an independent investigation.”
In April, Rocah announced an investigation into the actions of the Westchester County Board of Legislators concerning Anand Singh, and demanded the preservation of all “data, information and communications.”
Who the individual was in Rocah’s office who had prior knowledge of Anand Singh’s actions four months before his arrest in not yet known to the public. We also don’t know who the independent prosecutor is investigating Singh.
Friends of the DA are telling us that “other members of the DA’s staff had no knowledge that this individual knew about Anand in Dec. of 2022 until their own investigation uncovered proof. She (Rocah) isn’t happy about any of this.”
Here is where we differ with Rocah and her supporters. The letter is dated June 5. The Yonkers Ledger ran their story on June 6. There has been no public discussion or comment from her office, in an apparent attempt to keep this quiet. Full disclosure would have been the best decision, as soon as the letter was penned.
Why hasn’t that individual submitted their resignation to Rocah? Will there now have to be an independent investigation into what this DA employee knew. Was this a violation of any Legal Codes of Conduct?
The fear of many in Westchester was that Anand Singh made contact with his sexual preference, an underage girl, before he was caught in December and arrested in April. The FBI continues to investigate Singh, and his devices, to answer that question.
