The religious studies leader of Melbourne’s Yeshiva College has been stood down following allegations that he raped a student on several occasions during the 1980s inside the school’s synagogue.

Rabbi Abraham Glick, a former principal of the prestigious Jewish school, was last week arrested and questioned by Melbourne police but has not been charged, the Herald Sun reports.

The arrest comes after a statement was made to police in July in which Rabbi Glick was accused of raping a former student on numerous occasions while he was the school’s deputy principal.

“He was always a predator. I remember looking into his eyes and it was like someone looking at meat on a plate. There was no caring, there was something missing,” the alleged victim said in the statement.
