SOUTH FALLSBURG, N.Y. — “The camp takes what happened extremely seriously,” said Attorney Y. David Scharf, camp spokesperson.

It’s a case of alleged sex abuse at Camp Shalva, an Orthodox summer camp in South Fallsburg, according to the New York Post.

“The age of the kids who are at camp range from grade through middle school,” said Scharf.

The paper says in the early hours Wednesday morning, it was one particular group that was singled-out by an alleged registered sex offender.

“He showed up at the camp on a particular morning and was out of the camp relatively quickly,” said Scharf.
