In a shocking development, a partner at a prestigious New York City law firm has been apprehended as part of a sexual predator sting operation in Rockland County. Daniel Waxman, a 55-year-old resident of Long Island, was taken into custody following an extensive undercover investigation aimed at exposing individuals who exploit minors through online platforms.

Law enforcement authorities revealed that Waxman engaged in text conversations last month with an undercover investigator posing as a 14-year-old girl. Despite being made aware of the investigator’s age, Waxman continued exchanging messages, which progressively became more inappropriate. These explicit texts persisted even when the investigator reiterated her age and lack of consent.

The arrest occurred on Thursday when Waxman traveled to Rockland County to meet the girl with whom he had been conversing. Unbeknownst to him, the person he believed to be a minor was actually an undercover officer. Authorities wasted no time in taking Waxman into custody, charging him with attempted dissemination of indecent material to minors.

While the initial charge may seem relatively light, it is crucial to note that the corresponding provision in the New York penal code encompasses a broader scope. It includes intentionally using any computer communication system to initiate or engage in explicit communication with a minor and through such communication, intentionally enticing or soliciting the minor to engage in various forms of sexual activity or contact.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the broader legal community will undoubtedly be monitoring the case closely, aware of the potential implications for the profession. This incident emphasizes the importance of maintaining professional integrity and adhering to ethical standards in the legal field.



The arrest of a high-ranking legal professional in a sexual predator sting operation serves as a somber reminder that no individual is immune to the consequences of engaging in illegal activities.
