On Monday, a judge will decide whether or not a man who was a mentor to students at Chabad’s flagship yeshiva in Melbourne will stand trial for allegedly raping at least a dozen students, some long after Chabad knew what David Cyprys was allegedly doing. But Chabad did nothing to limit Cyprys’ contact with young boys.
David Cyprys, who worked as a security guard and a caretaker at Chabad’s Yeshiva College in Melbourne, Australia, is charged with at least 50 total counts of rape and indecent assault, all committed against boys between 1982 and 1991.
According to The Age, a Melbourne court yesterday heard that Cyprys had anally penetrated one teenager at a family home. Police told the court the victim told police “he had covered my mouth to stop me screaming.” The boy was allegedly raped before he was 16-years-old. Cyprys allegedly raped the boy on the boy’s 16th birthday, as well. Cyprys also allegedly raped the boy in the community’s men’s mikva, ritual bath.
