SHANNON DEERY HERALD SUN FEBRUARY 05, 2015
A SENIOR Jewish leader placed a 12-year-old girl in the care of a now convicted sex offender despite being told he had abused a string of boys, the royal commission has heard.
The young girl said while she was staying with Daniel “Gug” Hayman he indecently assaulted her and would often walk around totally naked.
She was put in his care after being sent to Sydney to study from interstate by her parents.
“Gug would walk out of the bedroom completely naked. I would be sitting on the couch doing my homework and I would be completely shocked. I had never seen a male naked before,” she said.
For years rumours about Hayman had circulated and a string of boys say they complained to senior Chabad leader Rabbi Boruch Lesches.
