Rabbi Mordechai “Moti” Elon has decided not to appeal his recent conviction on two counts of performing indecent sexual acts on a minor, Ynet reported.
Elon was sentenced to 6 months of community service with no prison time, sparking outrage.
Elon himself shrugged off the sentence.
“I’ve been doing community service for 40 years, and I would love to do until I’m 120,” Elon reportedly said then.
He was also sentenced to 15 months probation and was ordered to pay NIS 10,000 ($2,844) in compensation.
Prosecutors had asked for an 8– to 18-month prison sentence.
