A former member of Melbourne’s Jewish Yeshivah Centre has been convicted of raping a teenager and pleaded guilty to sexually abusing eight other boys.

David Samuel Cyprys, 45, was convicted of five counts of rape against the 15-year-old when he was associated with the Yeshivah Centre.

A Victorian County Court jury last month found Cyprys guilty of raping the boy, but a blanket suppression order prevented details from being reported until all the bans were lifted on Tuesday.

Cyprys was aged 22 and 23 when he raped the boy in 1990 and 1991.
