Accused New Square child sex abuser Rabbi Moshe Menachem Taubenfeld pleaded not guilty this morning to second-degree course of sexual conduct against a child, the Journal News reported.
Judge William Nelson continued Taubenfeld’s $25,000 cash bail and issued a order of protection compelling Taubenfeld to stay away from his alleged victim.
Taubenfeld is due back in court July 15.
No New Square child sex abuser has reportedly ever been sentenced to prison. Most are never reported to police, allegedly because New Square’s leader, the Skvere Rebbe Rabbi David Twersky, forbids it. The only known case that was reported and prosecuted, Taubenfeld’s younger brother Herschel, ended in a no-prison plea deal – even though the Herschel Taubenfeld was caught on tape admitting the abuse.
