BROOKLYN – A Brooklyn rabbi and teacher at a girls seminary has been arrested for alleged distribution of child pornography.
According to prosecutors, 52-year-old Samuel Waldman, of Kensington, is accused of distributing the illegal material over the Internet by enabling others to download videos that show minors engaged in sexual acts.
News 12 was first to speak with Waldman following the arrest. He said the accusations are false and hurtful.
Authorities say they established a connection to Waldman’s computer back in November, and were able to download several videos that he allegedly made available through file sharing software, which include clips of children as young as 4 years old.
