Child Exploitation Detail Leads to an Arrest of Haverstraw Man

The New York State Police, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Westchester County District Attorney’s collaborated in an undercover operation targeting individuals involved in the online exploitation of children. The operation, which took place over several days, resulted in the identification and arrest of Moses Goldstein, 34, of Haverstraw, NY.  A specialized task force comprising highly trained investigators and agents was deployed to gain access to online platforms frequently utilized where these crimes are often facilitated. By employing advanced cyber tactics, investigators successfully identified Goldstein seeking to exploit vulnerable children online and arrange in-person meetings with them.

Goldstein was charged with Rape 2^nd, a class D felony, and arraigned in Greenburgh Town Court. He was remanded to Westchester County Jail with bail set at $10,000 cash, $20,000 secured bond, or $50,000 partially secured bond.

A thorough historical investigation will continue into the individual identified during the course of this operation.
