A 21-year-old Montauk man was arrested last week on a felony charge of raping a minor.
According to East Hampton Town police, the man, Ronny A. Dellosantos-Corporan, met a girl under the age of 15 online and had sex with her on two different occasions. The father of the underage girl became suspicious after seeing her social media posts and questioned his child. Subsequent investigation by detectives led to the arrest of Mr. Dellosantos-Corporan.
At 6 p.m. on Friday at the Montauk police substation, he was charged with rape in the second degree, criminal sexual act in the second degree, and endangering the welfare of a child. He was held overnight and appeared on Saturday morning before East Hampton Town Justice Steven Tekulsky in East Hampton Town Justice Court, where he posted bail of $1,000 and was released. He is to be back in court on Aug. 27.
In other recent arrests, another Montauk resident was charged with felony criminal mischief after allegedly punching holes in the Sheetrock walls inside 10 Gannet Drive.
Town police said Richard Daunt also punched the passenger side of the resident's car, denting it, at 5 a.m. on July 10. Mr. Daunt, a 30-year-old resident of the hamlet, was additionally charged with misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance after police reported finding cocaine in a small bag in his wallet during his arrest. He was held in custody for 24 hours until the next morning, when he appeared before Justice Steven Tekulsky, who released him on his own recognizance to await a future court date.
