Rockland County District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II announced today that Sherman Brody, 46 of Haverstraw, New York has been sentenced before Judge Kevin Russo to 14 years in state prison with a period of 10 years post-release supervision after pleading
guilty to one count of Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child in the First Degree, a class “B” felony. The court also issued a full final order of protection in favor of the victim.

The arrest and prosecution of the defendant is a direct result of multiple law enforcement agencies working together to get justice on behalf of the victim. I would like to thank all the law enforcement agencies involved in this case.”
The investigation was handled by the Haverstraw Police Department with the assistance of the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office and the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office Special Victims Unit. Executive Assistant District Attorney Kathleen Devlin and Senior
