An Israeli court said Monday it would rule in September if an
Orthodox Jewish teacher accused of sexually abusing children in
Australia will be extradited, a courts spokeswoman told AFP.
The Jerusalem District Court heard new arguments by defense lawyers
Monday against the extradition of Malka Leifer, the latest chapter in
years of legal battles.
The court had ruled in May that she was mentally competent to stand trial, rejecting defense arguments to the contrary.
Leifer was not in court on Monday but took part by videoconference, the Israel Courts Administration spokeswoman said.
She is accused of child sex abuse while she was a teacher and
principal at a haredi Jewish school in Melbourne, where she had
emigrated from hernative Israel.
According to Australian media, she is facing 74 counts of child sex
abuse, but her lawyers say there were only "three actual complaints."
After allegations against her surfaced in Australia in 2008, Leifer
and her family left for Israel and have been living in the town of
Emmanuel.
