Politically connected Shomrim leader charged with raping 15-year-old girl

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.
