NEW CITY – A South Nyack man, who is a former Rockland County church youth group leader, has been convicted by a Rockland County court jury of felony sexual abuse in the first degree and misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child.

Todd Retallack, 49, of 32 Terrace Drive in South Nyack was convicted of sexually abusing a four-year-old girl at his home. The child was a friend of the victim’s family. The abuse took place while he was babysitting the child.

Retallack faces from two to seven years in state prison when sentenced in September.

District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said Retallack had “betrayed the trust of a young child and her family.”
