An East Brunswick rabbi and two people from the Bronx, New York are facing charges related to human trafficking and prostitution of a 17-year-old girl from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Rabbi Aryeh Goodman, 35, is charged with one count of engaging in prostitution with a child and one count of endangering the welfare of a child, Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey and East Brunswick Police Chief James Conroy said in a release late Sunday.
Goodman runs a Chabad, a religious learning center, out of his East Brunswick home. Officials said Goodman may have affiliation with another location on Lexington Avenue in East Brunswick. Accompanied by his attorney, Goodman turned himself in to authorities at the East Brunswick Police Department on Feb. 6, the release said.
An investigation indicated that the rabbi allegedly engaged in sexual relations with the 17-year-old girl at an East Brunswick hotel Feb. 1.
