Deputy Chief of Strategic Enforcement/Intergovernmental Relations Division
and Chief of Child Abuse/Sex Crimes Bureau
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that Carmen J. Facciolo has
joined the Office as Deputy Chief of Strategic Enforcement/Intergovernmental Relations
Division, and Rachel Ferrari will be Chief of the Child Abuse/Sex Crimes Bureau.
District Attorney Clark said, “These new additions to our Office bring a scope of
experience that will enhance our excellent staff and help us to give the people of the Bronx the
criminal justice system they deserve, with intelligence-driven prosecutions, collaboration with
our law enforcement partners and criminal justice stakeholders; and pursuing justice for the
most vulnerable and traumatized victims.”
In his new position, Mr. Facciolo will collaborate with federal, state and local agencies
on crime strategies and will develop partnerships with criminal justice advocates.
His most recent position was as a senior policy advisor with the U.S. Department of
Justice, where he helped manage the DOJ’s efforts to support prosecutors, law enforcement
and other criminal justice agencies. He directed DOJ’s Violence Reduction Network efforts in
Compton, CA.
Ms. Ferrari will head the Child Abuse/Sex Crimes Bureau, in the Special Victims
Division, when she joins the Office later this month.
Her most recent position was Deputy Chief of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Child
Abuse Unit, where she supervised and trained attorneys on child abuse cases, oversaw
caseloads and investigations and advised on legal and ethical issues, among other duties.
Ms. Ferrari served for 15 years in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, prosecuting
approximately 30 trials, including murder, rape and long term sexual abuse of children. In
her 10 years in the Child Abuse Unit, she prosecuted felony cases of sexual and physical
abuse of children and conducted long-term investigations of abuse at schools, institutional
caretakers and religious organizations.
