The politically connected president of the Boro Park Shomrim safety
patrol was arrested on charges that he repeatedly raped a 15-year-old
girl inside his Brooklyn home, police said Thursday.
Jacob “Yanky” Daskal, 59, a major donor to multiple campaigns, was
picked up at about 12:30 p.m. at his home on 46th Street, where he
allegedly attacked the teen between August and November 2017, police
said.
Investigators are probing whether the abuse lasted longer, according to sources.
Insiders say Daskal has friends in high places and claim his political largesse got him in tight with elected officials.
“He’s a well-connected guy. In Borough Park, he’s a big deal — a
macher,” or important person, said one insider who requested anonymity,
noting that Daskal is particularly close to retiring Assemblyman Dov
Hikind.
