Rav Motty Elon was sentenced today to six months community service and a 15 month prison sentence on probation for three years.
He was also fined 10,000 NIS as compensation for the victim. Rav Elon was convicted in August on two counts of sexual assault on a minor.
Rav Elon’s response, outside the court, was to call the allegations/charges/conviction “lies” – and he said he welcomes the community service order – ”I’ve been doing community service for 40 years, and I would love to do so until I’m 120.”
This was the culmination of a public process which started on 15th February 2010, with an announcement censuring Rav Elon on the Takana website; the ‘private’ process, within Forum Takana, began several years previously.
