MONTICELLO – A teen’s claim that he was sexually abused by a South Fallsburg rabbinical student is “impossible,” the wife of the rabbinical student testified on Tuesday.
The boy – now 15 – said during testimony on Monday that Haim Boukris, 29, picked him up in a “small, four-door car” at the grocery store and then took him to a nearby abandoned bungalow colony to sexually molest him.
But Rebecca Boukris – Haim Boukris’ wife – testified before Sullivan County Court Judge Frank LaBuda that it couldn’t have happened.
A visibly pregnant Boukris told Kenneth Gribetz – Haim Boukris’ New City attorney – her husband never did the shopping because he was at work in the Village of Ellenville during the day. She said she did all of the shopping for the household.
