Yanki Walden Accused of Preying on nearly a Dozen Teen Girls to Produce Child Porn
A married Nassau County health care executive allegedly preyed on nearly a dozen teen girls to produce child porn over a four-year period — including two minors he ordered to call him “daddy” and paid in exchange for the sickening content.
Jacob Walden, 38, was arraigned Wednesday morning in Central Islip Federal Court on a six-count indictment charging him with the sexual exploitation of two teens — ages 16 and 17 — he pressured to create sexually explicit videos and photos, according to the US Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of New York.
Feds recovered the disturbing images from Walden’s cellphone last April and identified at least 11 girls, as young as 14 years old, whom he contacted, coerced to send inappropriate content and paid, according to court documents.
The 16- and 17-year-old victims were located and interviewed during an investigation feds launched in September 2023.
“As alleged, the defendant enticed minors to produce sexually explicit photographs and videos of themselves and send them to him via the internet in exchange for payment,” United States Attorney John J. Durham said in a statement.
“Protecting children from predators who sexually exploit them will always be a priority of my Office.”
Investigators further found Walden, a father of five, repeatedly purchased at least 500 images and 5,000 videos depicting rape, bestiality and the abuse of toddler-aged children from a large-scale production and distribution ring that advertised to adult male buyers in the US and aboard, according to court docs.
Law enforcement also recovered an encrypted conversation on Walden’s phone arranging the purchase of two child porn packages — one of which was advertised to include “4-19, FAMILY, SOLO, RAPE, MIXED” content, the documents state.
Prosecutors said at least 20,500 files of child porn were found in Walden’s cloud storage, court docs revealed.
Walden, the co-owner and managing partner of Emerald Healthcare, a company that manages nursing and assisted living facilities nationwide, remained in contact with his child victims between 2020 and 2024.
In his conversations with the two teens referenced in the indictment — referred to as Jane Doe # 1 and Jane Doe # 2 — Walden reportedly insisted he be addressed as “daddy” and provided directions on the sexual acts he wanted the victims to perform.
He then paid them electronically after he received the alarming content, according to court documents.
Walden was arrested on July 31, 2024, and was ordered to home confinement at his $2 million Valley Stream residence, with restrictions placed on his electronic devices and his contact with minors.
The accused sicko violated his conditions within a month of his arrest after investigators discovered he made an unauthorized stop at a Verizon store and offered a woman money for sex on WhatsApp, prosecutors said.
Walden is being held without bail until his trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, according to law enforcement sources, after prosecutors argued he is a flight risk and a danger to society.
He joins high-profile perps, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Luigi Mangione, who are also imprisoned at the Brooklyn facility.
“For years the defendant has enticed individuals, typically minor females in exchange for payment to produce child pornography for him,” US Trial Attorney Leonid Sandlar said.
“The totality of the defendant’s voluminous submissions does not rebut the defendant’s motivation of flight. Or dangerousness.”
Walden’s counsel, Benjamin Baufman, argued his client’s compulsions stem from his own abuse as a child, pressing the court that dozens of religious members of the Orthodox Community have begged for “leniency and compassion.”
“He has five children and a wife who is present in court,” Baufman said.
“They are supportive even in light of the charges.”
Judge Gary Brown, who presided over the arraignment, agreed Walden should remain locked up.
Walden, on his personal blog, describes himself as an avid volunteer who is deeply committed to giving back to his community and a founding member of a local synagogue who launched his career in 2008 helping at-risk teens.
Walden described himself as a man of “diverse interest and hobbies that enrich his life and provide a sense of balance,” and said growing up in Monsey played “a significant role in shaping his values and character.”
“Jacob Walden’s life story is a powerful reminder that greatness is not defined by fame or acclaim but by the impact one has on the world and the people around them,” he wrote on his website.
“His unwavering commitment to his values, resilience in the face of challenges, and dedication to personal and professional growth make him a true example of what it means to lead an extraordinary life.”
Walden is charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of a child, receipt of child pornography, possession of child pornography, and two counts of access with intent to view child pornography, according to the indictment.
If convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison, prosecutors said.
He is due back in court on Feb. 24.

Egomaniacal Bishop Budde’s woke rant just makes her another liberal pawn aiming to cut down Trump
What the Rt. Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, 65, was supposed to do Tuesday, at the historical inter-faith service, was to bless the incoming administration and pray for God’s guidance and protection for the nation.
She should have been fostering unity, not exacerbating false divides and making the ceremony all about her.
Addressing the new president, Budde asked for his “mercy” for illegal migrants and “transgender children” who “are scared now” that he is in office.
“There are gay, lesbian and transgender children . . . who fear for their lives,” she intoned in a saccharine parody of a Christian sermon.
She patronizingly described migrants as “the people who pick our crops [and] wash the dishes.”
Rabbinate Issues Exit Order Against Second Wife Of Man Refusing To Give A Get
A groundbreaking decision was issued by the Rabbinical Court in Jerusalem, placing an exit order on the new partner of a man refusing to grant a divorce (get).
According to a report by Shila Fried on the Ynet website, the man separated from his first wife in Israel three years ago, and the Rabbinical Court ordered him to grant her a get. To avoid this obligation, the husband left the country and began traveling between European countries.
The Rabbinical Court’s Agunah Department discovered through surveillance that he was in a new relationship and even married his second partner, while still refusing to grant a divorce to his first wife. He was living with a new partner abroad, and the court had been unable to reach him through messengers and mediators to extract a get from him for his first wife.
In recent weeks, the man’s second wife visited Israel. The Agunah Department presented evidence to the court suggesting that the second wife was encouraging and convincing her partner not to grant a divorce to his first wife. As a result, the court decided to summon her for a hearing during her visit to Israel.
The woman refused to attend the hearing, and a travel ban was issued against her for several days, prompting her to appear at the court.
During the hearing, the judges were convinced that the second wife was indeed complicit in persuading the husband to continue refusing the get. The judges noted that they found contradictions in her testimony. To exert pressure on the husband, the Rabbinical Court issued a travel ban against the second wife, who was visiting Israel, for one year.
Rabbi Eliyahu Mimon, head of the Agunah Prevention Department, which locates recalcitrant husbands who flee and attempts to reach them by various means, told Ynet that “The court turns over every stone and makes every effort to free women from their agunah status. I hope that the court’s efforts will lead to the release of the agunah.”
In the past, travel restrictions and sanctions have been imposed on those who assist and encourage men in their refusal to grant a divorce in violation of the court’s orders.
Recently, a travel ban was issued against a rabbi from Monsey who visited Israel after participating in a wedding for a man refusing to grant a divorce to his first wife and marrying a second woman. Sanctions were also imposed on a father who convinced his son not to grant a divorce. These proceedings are coordinated with and approved by the Supreme Court.
Brooklyn Uber Passenger Beaten and Killed During Robbery in Coney Island
Question: Was the Driver in on it?
A 53-year-old Brooklyn man, Michael Shelonchik, tragically died following a violent robbery aboard an Uber ride on Tuesday evening. The attack occurred around 6:15 p.m. at W. 5th St. and Neptune Ave. in Coney Island. Shelonchik was sitting in the back seat of the vehicle when two men opened the door, beat him, and stole his chain. After the robbery, the driver sped off, but when they reached E. 3rd St. and Avenue Y in Gravesend, about a mile away, the driver realized that Shelonchik had become unconscious.
The driver immediately called for help, and medics rushed Shelonchik to Maimonides Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead. Authorities have not yet apprehended the suspects, who are being sought in connection with the robbery and assault.
Police have classified the case as a homicide, pending an autopsy from the city Medical Examiner to determine the exact cause of death. Shelonchik, a resident of Bergen Beach, was reportedly attacked during an ordinary Uber ride, but the tragic turn of events has left the community in shock. Investigators are continuing to probe the circumstances surrounding the incident.
