A major political donor and president of the Boro Park Shomrim safety patrol was arrested on Thursday for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl, police said.

Cops nabbed Jacob Daskal, 59, at about 12:30 p.m. in his Brooklyn home, where he allegedly raped the teen between August and November of last year, police said.

Investigators are probing whether the abuse lasted longer, according to sources.

He is being charged with third-degree rape, forcible touching, sex abuse, criminal sex act and acting in a manner injurious to a child under 17, police said.

Daskal is the president of the politically connected Brooklyn South Safety Patrol which acts as a volunteer auxiliary police force in conjunction with the NYPD.
