Al Achas Kama Vekama, a child molester who destroys people's lives should be treated the same way. Recently a group of rabbis raised $1M in bail money for a man arrested for attacking a young girl in a Brooklyn stairwell. The man was subsequently convicted and sentenced to fifteen years in prison. How do these rabbis justify setting this pervert free to attack other innocent children? What kind of perversion is this of the halacha of pidyon shvuyim? How can the Noveminsker Rav start a "defense fund" for a man who was responsible for an unprecedented amount of chillul hashem by the way he operated his meat plant? Are these our tzedaka priorities today? Where is the moral and financial support for sexually abused victims? Instead there is "vigorous opposition" towards legislation that would protect our children from sexual molesters and that would give the victims some legal recourse. We constantly see support being given to the criminals while the victims are consistently stifled, shunned and abandoned.stevenoreply@blogger.com
