CONVICTED paedophile David Kramer’s efforts to avoid extradition have failed, with a US court ordering the former Yeshivah College (Melbourne) teacher back to Australia to face charges, including indecent assault and indecent acts with a child under the age of 16.
Kramer was arrested in St Louis, Missouri, moments after being released from prison, where he had served four years of a seven-year sentence for molesting a 12-year-old boy.
Kramer is alleged to have sexually abused four boys at Yeshivah College between 1989 and 1992, before being spirited away to Israel by the school.
A spokesperson from the Attorney-General’s Department would not confirm when Kramer was due back in Australia, saying only that he is “wanted by Victorian authorities to face prosecution for the offences of indecent assault and indecent acts with a child under the age of 16”.
