Dwayne Murray, a 62-year-old youth basketball coach from Mount Vernon, was charged with molesting a young girl under 13 on multiple occasions. Following a tip on April 12, authorities launched an investigation, uncovering text messages that reportedly discussed sexual acts with the victim. Westchester District Attorney Susan Cacace emphasized the gravity of such offenses against children, affirming the serious nature of the charges. Murray has been held without bail after making some admissions regarding the alleged abuse and denying the claims through a video statement.
Cacace said authorities got a tip about the alleged abuse on April 12 and launched an investigation.
"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."
"There is no crime we take more seriously than offenses committed against children, especially offenses of a sexual nature."
Murray made "some admissions" concerning the alleged abuse.
