A campaign to raise funds for a rabbi who has been charged with sexually abusing a teenage girl has sparked anger from the victim’s family.
Posters promoting a fundraising event at Continental Caterers restaurant in Williamsburg for alleged child abuser Nechemya Weberman were put up at shopping areas in the city on Monday.
Written in a mix of Hebrew and Yiddish the signs show support for the Jewish clerical figure who has been charged with molesting a 12-year-old girl over a period of three years between 2007 and 2010.
Weberman pleaded innocent to the charges in February and the case is now going through the court process.
