A Jewish volunteer found guilty of indecently assaulting a teenage boy at a Yeshiva camp was handed a 19-month suspended jail sentence in a Sydney court on Tuesday.
Daniel Robert Hayman did not stop reading from the Book of Pslams as he was given the sentence for touching and holding a 14-year-old boy’s penis during a camp at Stanwell Tops in the 1980s.
Magistrate David Williams said he would not have hesitated in sending Hayman to jail had the offences been committed recently but said he was bound by the laws at the time the offence was committed.
Hayman, a dual Australian-American citizen who lives with his wife and children in Los Angeles, pleaded guilty to indecent assault of a child under 16 and under his authority at a hearing in May.
