Brooklyn Rabbi Charged with Molesting Boys
NEW YORK -- A Brooklyn rabbi is on trial for allegedly sexually assaulting boys. A March 3 New York Daily News article said that one of the witnesses in the trial of Rabbi Baruch Lebovits claimed that he had been repeatedly molested by the rabbi in 2004 and 2005, when the witness was in his teens. The man is now in treatment for drug addiction, the article said, a fact that the defense seized upon, calling him a "con man" who was looking for money. Assistant District Attorney Miss Gregory asked the witness, who is now 22, how the alleged episodes of sexual abuse affected him. The witness testified that they left him "Very uncomfortable and confused." The witness is one of three men who say that Lebovits molested them.Click Here For The Full Story......
