An Arizona rabbi was cuffed in the parking lot of his synagogue, accused of raping a 7-year-old girl a decade ago in NYC. According to the victim, now 17, 45-year-old Bryan Bramly sexually assaulted her when she was spending the night at his family's home in 2000. At the time Bramly was finishing up his rabbinical studies, says the AP. She didn't report the incident until August 2009, but officials says they jumped on the case.
"Our offices in New York and Arizona working in concert with NYPD, were able to locate and arrest an individual accused of preying on our most valuable commodity, a child," said U.S. Marshal David Gonzales, according to ABC15. The Conservative rabbi is awaiting extradition at a Phoenix jail and so far it's unknown whether he had other victims.
