Jewish Teacher Arrested In Israel for Homosex Abuse
TORONTO -- A former teacher at Canada's largest Jewish high school has been arrested in Israel on charges of sexual abuse. Avichai Zehavi, a popular teacher at Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto from 2000 to 2005, was arrested earlier this month and charged with sexually abusing a 14-year-old male student at a religious boys' high school in Israel. Ha'aretz reported on Sept. 14 that Zehavi, a 41-year-old married father of four, is accused of sodomizing the boy. Zehavi denied the charge, the article said. Two other boys came forward to accuse Zehavi of sexual offenses, according to a Ynet report cited by the Canadian Jewish News. The alleged acts took place at the school during school hours and when a student was invited by Zehavi to a relative's house on Shabbat.Click Here For The Full Story......
