In Homosex Case, Rubashkin Relative Pleads Guilty
NEW YORK -- A son-in-law of Sholom Rubashkin, the kosher meat mogul convicted of financial fraud in November, has pleaded guilty to child endangerment in a case related to the sexual molestation of a 13-year-old boy at a mikveh. Under a plea bargain agreement, he faces up to 60 days in jail. Under oath, Rabbi Yaakov Weiss admitted to: “While naked, knowingly having inappropriate physical contact with a child, who was also naked at the time,” according to the prosecutor in the case. On January 11, Weiss pleaded guilty in an Albany, N.Y, court to endangering the welfare of a child. Under the plea bargain, Weiss will not be required to be listed in a registry of sex offenders. Prosecutors said they agreed to the deal to spare the boy and another child victim from the rigors of testifying at trial.Click Here For The Full Story......
