HIGH-PROFILE Jewish victims’ advocate Manny Waks has delivered on a promise to continue holding Jewish institutions to account for their handling of alleged child sexual abuse.
He spent two hours before the Federal Government’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse on Tuesday, in his capacity as Tzedek chief executive.
Tzedek is an advocacy group for Jewish victims and survivors of child sexual abuse.
Mr Waks promised to present at the commission after the high-profile case of former Yeshivah College teacher David Kramer was resolved in July.
Kramer was sentenced in the County Court to three years and four months jail for indecently assaulting four boys while teaching at the St Kilda East school between 1989 and 1991.
Mr Waks posted a Facebook message on his way to his private session, promising to be the voice of victims and survivors in the community.
