Holley man pleads guilty to burglary as sexually motivated felony at Brockport daycare

ROCHESTER – A Holley man pleaded guilty in Monroe County Court on Wednesday to third-degree burglary as a sexually-motivated felony.

Daniel Seeler, 66, admitted in court that he broke into a daycare center in Brockport three times in an attempt to be a baby girl, WHAM Channel 13 reported.

Seeler is currently completing treatment and will spend a year being supervised by the court. He will be sentenced after his treatment is complete, WHAM reported.

Seeler was indicted in August in Monroe County Court  following an investigation of break-ins at the Inspire! Learning and Child Care Center in Clarkson in January and February 2023.

He  allegedly left money and a note requesting adult-size diapers at the daycare center on Jan. 30, 2023. The center’s director contacted police and a security camera was installed, according to WHAM.

Seeler then allegedly left a similar note and $200 a few days later. The new security system alerted the director on Feb. 11 to the break-in. The director received another security alert and saw surveillance video of a man playing with diapers, WHAM reported.

Seeler has been a real estate developer in Holley area, including making major renovations to the former Tagg’s Tavern, turning that site into the Holley Falls Bar & Grill. He is no longer involved in managing that site which is currently closed.
