The Mashgiach of a Jerusalem yeshiva was sentenced to 17 years in jail after he admitted and was found guilty of heinous acts of molestation and child rape. The victims were spared having to come forward and publicly testify following a plea bargain.
In addition to the jail sentence, he was fined 145 thousand shekel which was deposited with the court.
About a year and a half ago, this Mashgiach from Jerusalem (Bayit Vegan) was arrested and was found guilty of a long list of acts of rape
which he perpetrated for many years against three young girls [nieces].
One of the girls was only six years old when he began to molest her. He continued this for many years, including two more nieces, using religious manipulation and "mind games" as part of his tactics.
The main lesson to be learned that even people in position of trust and even within a yeshiva may be the biggest crooks.
ReplyDeleteNo mitzva to trust those in position without a real justification to do so.
He was not a "crook", he was a baal tayva, who preyed on his trusting relatives.
