Girl-rape susp quits pol’s staff

AN ACCUSED CHILD rapist has resigned as Simcha Eichenstein’s campaign treasurer in his bid to replace longtime state Assemblyman Dov Hikind.

Eichenstein’s spokesman made the announcement the day after a Daily News story highlighted the role of Jacob Daskal, 59, as treasurer for Eichenstein’s campaign.

Daskal (photo), the president of the Shomrim neighborhood patrol, was charged last Thursday with raping a 16-year-old girl inside his Borough Park home. He has pleaded not guilty.

On Tuesday, Eichenstein did not respond to repeated calls and texts seeking comment. “He’s very busy,” his spokesman, Yehuda Meth, said Wednesday.

Eichenstein, 34, the former director of political and governmental services for the de Blasio administration, is considered the front-runner for the open Borough Park Assembly seat.

Daskal has also resigned from his position on Brooklyn Community Board 12, according to Meth.

Authorities say Daskal made incriminating remarks to the alleged victim during a phone call recorded by detectives.
