Nechemya Weberman, the prominent Hasidic counselor convicted of sexually abusing a young girl, was sentenced today to 103 years in prison for his heinous crimes.
Weberman is now doomed to die behind bars for his years-long abuse of a now-18-year-old woman. She was only 12 when the abuse began.
The kiddie-sex fiend was found guilty on all 59 counts of abuse by a Brooklyn jury in December. He’s been in jail ever since, awaiting today’s sentencing.
Weberman’s trial tore apart the incredibly private Satmar Hasidic sect, pitting the defendant’s fierce loyalists against the victim’s supporters who claimed the community turned a blind eye to abuse.
