KIRYAS JOEL, New York (WABC) — FBI agents were in Kiryas Joel Thursday morning investigating a child pornography case.
They executed search warrants at the United Talmudical Academy, the yeshiva where a principal was caught on tape with a boy.
It is not known if the search warrants are related to the principal’s activities.
United Talmudical Academy of Kiryas Joel put out a statement earlier this week saying that the behavior caught on tape does not constitute a “criminal assault.”
“In these videos, the school principal is seen embracing the students who were sent to his office for behavioral issues. While this type of restraint may be unacceptable to some viewers, it in no way rises to the level of a criminal assault,” it said.
