THE principal of a Jewish college refused to report a teacher who admitted molesting students to police because he was concerned for his welfare, a court has heard.
Rabbi David Kramer, 52, pleaded guilty to molesting four young boys while teaching at ultra-orthodox Yeshiva College in the 1990s before fleeing to the US where he was jailed for further offending.
A County Court plea hearing heard today the father of two victims made a formal complaint to then principal Rabbi Abraham Glick who refused to take immediate action.
“The accused admitted touching some of the children but claimed that it was initiated by the complainants,” prosecutor Brett Sonnet told the court.
“Rabbi Glick advised (the victim’s father) that he did not intend to immediately suspend the accused from teaching because he was concerned for his welfare.”
