MASTIC BEACH, N.Y. -- Derrick Clancy, the man accused in two violent home invasions on Long Island, appeared before a judge Monday.Clancy was arrested in two brutal attacks on women in their 70s, each alone in their Mastic Beach homes earlier this month.The son of one 78-year-old victim, who was beaten and sexually assaulted, said he's relieved but alarmed.
