It took the jury about one day of deliberations to issue its verdict in the sexual abuse case of a prominent Brooklyn ultra Orthodox Jewish leader, CBS New York reports.
Nechemya Weberman, 54, was found guilty on all 60 charges against him for allegedly molesting a girl he was counseling over a three-year span beginning when the girl was 12, WCBS 880?s Irene Cornell reported.
The charges include sexual conduct with a child and criminal sexual acts, CBS 2’s Tony Aiello reported.
Weberman showed no emotion as the verdict was read, Cornell reported. He was handcuffed and taken into police custody after the verdict was read, where he will remain until sentencing.
