Mendel Zarkowsky of New Square Charged with Child Sexual Abuse

Ramapo Police have arrested New Square resident Moshe Menacham Taubenfeld, also known as Mendel Zarkowsky, for one count of class D felony course of sexual conduct against a child in the second degree, for alleged acts that occurred between the years of 2001 and 2006.

The police allege Taubenfeld abused a male youth under the age of 11 when the abuse began but did not specify his current age.

The investigation did not begin until summer 2013, but police say they were able to accumulate enough evidence to bring charges.

Taubenfeld (Zarkowsky) was arraigned by Hon. Justice R. Schoenberger in the Town of Ramapo Court this week. His bail was set at $25,000 cash. Taubenfeld (Zarkowsky) was released on the $25,000.00 bail with a future return date to New Square Village Court.

Taubenfeld is the brother of previously convicted molester Hershel Taubenfeld.
