In a phone to the Westchester County District Attorney's Office, WPCNR was told that Melessa Benjamin is an Assistant District Attorney and Deputy Chief of the Child Abuse Bureau.
Christina Frantom, Deputy Director of Communications for the District Attorney told WPCNR, “once a case is dismissed for any reason, it is the District Attorney’s office policy not to comment, and court records of the case are sealed.”
