The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office announced Feb. 19, 2026 that a Brookhaven man pleaded guilty to repeated sexual abuse of his two stepdaughters. The office identified the core conduct as ongoing sexual assaults against both stepchildren and treated the plea as the culmination of its investigation.

Prosecutors said the defendant admitted to videotaping at least one of the assaults. The DA’s office connected that admission to the steps that led to his arrest, saying the act of recording played a role in bringing the case to law enforcement attention.

The accused is identified in court filings as a resident of the Town of Brookhaven; the plea was reported by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office on Feb. 19. Prosecutors characterized the offenses as repeated sexual abuse involving the two stepdaughters, a formulation that formed the basis of the guilty plea announced by the DA’s office.

Details released by the DA’s office emphasized the videotaping admission as a central fact in the prosecution. The office framed the recording of at least one assault as evidence the defendant acknowledged in entering the plea, and it cited that conduct as a factor linked to his arrest.

The announcement on Feb. 19, 2026 came from the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, which is prosecuting the case in Suffolk County. Beyond the plea and the videotaping admission, the office’s statement focused on the defendant’s acknowledgment of repeated sexual abuse against his two stepdaughters.

The guilty plea announced by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office on Feb. 19 resolves the criminal charge stage of the case against this Brookhaven man who admitted both repeated sexual abuse of his two stepdaughters and the videotaping of at least one assault. The DA’s office presented those admissions as central to the prosecution’s case.
