PELHAM, NY — A 62-year-old Pelham resident was sentenced to 10 years probation before Westchester County Court Judge Anne Minihan, Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr. announced Tuesday. Danny Manich pleaded guilty in March to charges related to images of child sexual exploitation. His sex offender registration (SORA) hearing is scheduled for Nov. 17. On April 15, 2019, Manich engaged in online communications with an undercover investigator from the DA's Office. These communications served as the basis for a search warrant that was executed for his personal digital devices. Based upon computer forensics performed by the DA's Office, Manich was found to be in possession, on May 3, 2019, of graphic images of a very young child being sexually assaulted by an adult man. Manich was arrested by District Attorney's Office criminal investigators May 3 and arraigned later the same day. Pelham police assisted. Assistant District Attorney Michael Delohery, chief of the Investigations Division Cybercrime Bureau, prosecuted the case.
