Westchester Board of Legislators Long Knew of Suspected Child Predator, Anand Singh

Mark Parolisi--April 17, 2023

Westchester Board of Legislators (BOL) staffer Anand Singh was captured in a “to catch a predator” style Youtube video soliciting sex from a suspected underage girl in December 2022. While the video of this full operation did not become public until April 13th, members on the BOL knew about Singh’s alleged sex crimes for months and appear to have taken no action.

The group, OBL Global, lures potential child predators using fake dating app profiles. Late last year, their team spent over a week ensnaring former Yonkers City Council staffer and then-current BOL staffer Anand Singh via hundreds of text messages and voice calls. In mid-December, Singh traveled across state lines into New Jersey to meet who he expected to be a 14 year-old girl. Instead, OBL Global confronted Singh while live-streaming the interaction. Singh then absconded the scene before authorities arrived. On April 13th, OBL Global released a 30-minute Youtube video summarizing their sting operation that culminated in that face-to-face encounter.

The BOL Chairperson, Catherine Borgia, began to call legislators immediately following the release of the Youtube video. She informed the 17-member body that Anand Singh had been terminated. During this communication, she described the allegations against him. The Westchester County Police Department also reached out to OBL Global on April 16th in regards to an investigation into this matter.

When did they know?

However, some suggest that members of the board knew of Anand Singh’s transgressions months prior........ MORE AT Westchester Legislators Long Knew of Suspected Child Predator (theyonkersledger.com)
