NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A controversial fundraiser that’s dividing an Orthodox Jewish community will be held tonight in Brooklyn.
The dinner is raising legal funds for Rabbi Nechemya Weberman, 53, who was arrested last year when a 16-year-old female accused him of molesting her during years of counseling sessions dating back to when she was 12-years-old.
Weberman has pleaded not guilty to charges of committing a criminal sex act, rape, endangering the welfare of a child and sexual abuse.
