MEDFORD, NY – The tiny hamlet of Medford was shocked on Tuesday when a man was accused of sexually abusing two boys weeks before in a Medford park earlier this month.
According to the Suffolk County Police Department, the two boys were at Gordon Heights Children’s Park on Wednesday when they saw a man who they alledge had sexually abused them several weeks prior.
“The boys notified a family member who responded to the park and called police. This was the first time police were notified of the incident,” the Suffolk County Police Department said.
At this time, the SCPD is asking families to talk to their young children about the possibility of more victims in this case.
Today, police arrested Rashawn Brinkley, 27, of 44 West Lane, and charged him with two counts of Sexual Abuse 1st Degree and two counts of Acting in a Manner to Injure a Child.
Detectives are asking anyone who may have information about Brinkley or believes they may be a victim to call the Special Victims Section at 631-852-6531.
