MYFOXNY.COM - A Brooklyn judge has sentenced a Borough Park rabbi to up to 32 years in prison for sexually abusing a teenager in 2004 and 2005.

Baruch Lebovits, who in March was convicted of eight counts of sexually abusing a 16-year-old boy, will spend 10 and two-thirds to 32 years behind bars, said Kings County District Attorney Charles Hynes.

The teenager knew Lebovits as a rabbi and prominent businessman in the Borough Park community, where they both lived, Hynes said.

Lebovits still faces additional charges in two other cases of alleged sexual assault on minors.
