A Brooklyn rabbi accused of sexually assaulting several teenage boys was sentenced on Tuesday to 60 days in jail and six years on probation.

In 2013, Yoel Malik was charged with the sexual assault of four boys aged between 13 and 16.

He pleaded guilty of luring a child and sexual misconduct the following year, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.

Yoel Malik, 36, was sentenced to 60 days in jail and 6 years on probation in connection with a sex abuse case

As part of the plea deal, Malik, 36, underwent a sex offender class and other probation requirements, and the felony count of luring a child was subsequently dismissed, according to the Daily News.

Malik's victims were students at the now-closed Satmar yeshiva in Borough Park, Brooklyn.

The rabbi was accused of fondling the boys and allegedly forced two of them to perform oral sex on him.

A Brooklyn hotel manager said he admitted Malik and a 'tall boy' into a room in January 2013, where the pair allegedly stayed for eight hours, according to Pix 11.

Malik was arrested two weeks after the alleged hotel attack by NYPD officers from the 77th precinct in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, court records show.

Child abuse victims' advocates told the Daily News the 60-day jail sentence was 'inexplicable,' while Malik's lawyer, Rober Bennet-Adler, called the punishment 'significant.'

Malik is a father of five and previously ran a yeshiva for 'at-risk' youth, according to Pix 11.
