A Bar Mitzvah tutor took the stand to deny molesting teens - but he didn't convince a Brooklyn judge, who convicted him of sexually abusing two victims.

Yona Weinberg, 31, was acquitted of eight other counts, including a felony, but still faces up to two years in prison for the misdemeanors.

Weinberg, a social worker, was found guilty of molesting one boy in his home and a synagogue's ritual bath and the other in a van and a yeshiva stairwell.

"His reaction is that of anybody found guilty - it's one of sadness," defense lawyer Marvin Schechter said.
