TWO PEOPLE were charged with disorderly conduct Wednesday during a night of fund-raising in Brooklyn for a rabbi charged with sexually abusing a teenage girl, police said.
More than 100 protesters faced off against thousands of supporters rallying for Nechemya Weberman, 53, who was collared in February 2011 after a 16-year-old girl complained he had forced her to perform oral sex and other acts.
The teen claimed Weberman was her therapist and the abuse, which she said started when she was 12, occurred during therapy sessions.
