A Westchester County youth basketball coach, 62-year-old Dwayne Murray was charged with molesting a girl under age 13 on at least two occasions over five months, according to prosecutors. He coached the Mount Vernon Junior Knights team and is being held without bail on a felony charge of sexual conduct with a child. Susan Cacace, the District Attorney, mentioned that Murray made “some admissions” about the abuse, per the New York Post.
Cacace said, “It is alleged that between Oct. 1, 2023, and March 1, 2023, Murray engaged in two or more acts of sexual conduct with a child who is less than 13 years old, including one act of oral sexual conduct.”
She continued, “There is no crime we take more seriously than offenses committed against children, especially offenses of a sexual nature.”
Officials took Murray’s phone and electronic devices, discovering text messages where he discussed performing oral sex on the youngster. He was apprehended and arraigned on Wednesday in Mount Vernon City Court. This arrest followed a long winded Facebook video where he claimed the allegations were “completely false.” The District Attorney did not say if the victim was on Murray’s team or where the abuse happened.
