WHITE PLAINS, NY (October 30, 2025) — For the 19th year, the Westchester County Department of Probation will keep more than 100 registered and non-registered sex offenders off the streets during Halloween trick-or-treating hours.
The offenders on probation in Westchester County are required to attend the Anti-Sexual Abuse Victim Impact Program at the Westchester County Courthouse on Friday, October 31 from 5:30 to 10 p.m.
The program is designed to educate offenders and raise awareness about the impact of their actions. Offenders will hear compelling accounts of devastation perpetrated on children and adult victims and gain insight into how those acts can reverberate through a victim’s life.
Speakers include Annie Seifullah, Esq., co-founder of Incendii Law, PLLC, a woman-owned law firm in New York City that specializes in supporting victims of technology-facilitated abuse. Seifullah is a survivor of intimate partner violence and image-based sexual abuse.
Another presenter is Wiley K. March, an author, speaker and founder of the Tiamberus Network, a survivor-based organization designed to promote growth, recovery and community.
Josefa Romero, program director of Westchester Jewish Community Services Crime Victims Advocacy Support Services Program, and Celia Megias, also of WJCS, will conduct educational sessions for Spanish-speaking sex offenders.
While the program is in progress, probation officers will be in the community actively tracking down offenders who fail to attend the event.
To ensure community safety, offenders will not be allowed to use public transportation after the event. Probation officers will provide transportation home for any offender who needs it.
