Rabbi at Maimonides School Charged With Sexual Assault
BROOKLINE, MA -- A former rabbi at Maimonides School in Brookline was indicted on child sexual assault charges dating back to the 1970s, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley. Stanley Z. Levitt of Philadelphia was charged with four counts of indecent assault and battery on a person under 14 for allegedly assaulting two former students at Maimonides, where Levitt was a teacher. Both students were about 11 years old at the time of the alleged crimes. “This was a betrayal of trust in the most awful sense,” Conley said. “The evidence suggests that Levitt abused a position of power, respect and authority to engage in sexual behavior with boys were too young to resist and too afraid to speak out.”Click Here For The Full Story......
