Tarrytown resident Anand Singh, age 33, was arrested on Monday, May 1, and charged with attempting to meet a person who he thought was a 14-year-old girl at an apartment building in Newark, New Jersey for sex, according to the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
According to federal officials, Singh, a former employee of the Westchester County Board of Legislators, began using an app called "Hily" to message an individual posing as a 14-year-old girl in December 2022.
Singh would allegedly send text messages and messages over "Hily" to entice the individual to engage in sexual activity with him and used the screen name "Anon" to do so.
In these communications, Singh expressed "in graphic and unambiguous terms" his desire to engage in sexual activity with the individual and made a plan to meet them at their apartment building in Newark to do so, federal officials said.
