A prominent New Haven rabbi who’s been accused of sexually assaulting a teenage boy has been ordered to testify at a civil trial. Jury selection for Rabbi Daniel Greer is set to begin Wednesday in federal court in Hartford.
A lawsuit filed last year accuses Greer, 76, of repeatedly raping and molesting a student who attended the Yeshiva of New Haven school. During that time, Greer was the rabbi, dean, and director.
The former student, now 29, is suing Greer and the school on allegations of sexual assault, infliction of emotional distress, and other claims.
The lawsuit also alleges that Greer sexually abused at least one other student.
Greer has denied the allegations and has not been criminally charged.
