The indictment further accuses Brokaw of sexual abuse 1st, after allegedly subjecting another person to sexual contact who was incapable of consent by reason of being physically helpless on November 11th through the 12th, 2017.

Batavia Police say the incident occurred at a party at a residence in the City of Batavia.

According to First Assistant District Attorney Melissa Cianfrini, the charge of attempted rape carries mandatory prison time.  She requested $10,000 cash/bond bail in court.

According to Brokaw’s Attorney, Stephen Leonardo, Brokaw is a life long Batavia resident who is married with a child and is employed as a Corrections Officer for NYS in Albion. Leonardo says his client is going nowhere.
