WILLIAMSBURG (WABC) — A controversial fundraiser for a man in Brooklyn who is accused of molesting a teenage girl is fueling outrage on the streets of Williamsburg.
At the center of the storm is Nechemya Weberman, a member of Brooklyn’s Orthodox Satmar community. He was charged last year with sexually abusing a teenage girl.
Posters in Hebrew and Yiddish are promoting a fundraiser for Weberman at a catering hall on Wednesday night.
