BREWSTER – State Police arrested a Hopewell Junction man on felony counts of criminal sexual act and sexual abuse.

Joseph Faraone, 68, is a former pastor of St. James Church in Carmel and St. Denis Church in Hopewell Junction as well as churches in Mount Kisco and Yorktown Heights.

Faraone, an employee of a local non-for-profit human service organization, was arrested after an investigation by State Police and the Putnam County District Attorney’s Office found that he had sexual contact with a 50-year-old female patient who was unable to consent.  He is in the Putnam County Jail in lieu of $50,000 cash bail or $100,000 bond.

The investigation is continuing and anyone with information is asked to call the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation at Brewster at 845-677-7300.
