A FORMER Yeshivah College principal was told about child sex crimes being perpetrated by staff as early as 1991 but failed to act, it has been alleged.
While the school was under the leadership of Rabbi Abraham Glick, at least 10 students were molested by staff at the school between 1988 and 2007 by teacher David Kramer and security guard David Cyprys.
Before the royal commission into child sex abuse, Rabbi Glick yesterday admitted the school covered up allegations, but denied any responsibility.
Cyprys had been allowed to continue working at the school despite pleading guilty to indecent assault in 1992. Kramer was moved to the US after complaints were made by parents in the early 1990s. Cyprys is in jail and Kramer has just been released from prison.
Rabbi Glick said that because of the way the school operated, his responsibility to be aware of such issues was “never spelt out”.
