A woman tearfully described to a jury yesterday her terror as her rabbi father molested her in his bedroom.

The 27-year-old woman told in graphic detail about being 9 years old the first time her father, Israel Weingarten, sexually assaulted her.

"I felt alone, scared, confused," the woman said in Brooklyn federal court. Weingarten, 59, of Rockland County, who opted to represent himself in court against charges he molested his daughter, delivered a rambling 90-minute opening statement in which he said his daughter was actually attacked by a neighbor when they lived in Belgium.
