A FORMER security guard at a Melbourne orthodox Jewish school accused of sexual assault has been committed to stand trial.
David Samuel Cyprys, 44, faced about 50 charges including rape and sexual assault of 12 students from Yeshivah College in St Kilda between 1982 and 1991. Twelve charges yesterday were struck out in Melbourne Magistrates Court before Cyprys pleaded not guilty to the remaining charges.
Last week, Abraham Glick, the former principal of Yeshivah College, changed his evidence and admitted he knew in the early 2000s of rumours that a former security guard had molested children.
Yesterday magistrate Luisa Bazzani said it was ”unfathomable” that Rabbi Glick did not know about the allegations at the time. Rabbi Glick still teaches at the school.
