BROCKPORT, N.Y. (WKBW) — A level 2 registered sex offender stands accused of pretending to be a college student to lure a woman to meet with him when she was then allegedly sexually assaulted.
New York State Police arrested David L. Castaneda of Brockport on Monday and charged him with criminal sexual act 1st degree and 12 counts of falsifying a business record for allegedly filing false records with the SUNY Brockport college.
