AUSTRALIA
Failed Messiah
Magistrate Williams said he needed to apply the law as it was at the time of the offense but said if it had occurred today he “would have had no hesitation in sending [Daniel “Gug” Hayman] to jail.”
Daniel “Gug” Hayman
Daniel “Gug” Hayman, a former director of Chabad in Sydney, Australia sexually abused a boy at a Chabad camp in the late 1980s. Hayman went on to fail to comply with his voluntary sex offender counseling in Los Angeles and lived openly there under the partial protection of Debbie Fox, a social worker who at one time was mistakenly believed to be a strong advocate for haredi and Orthodox abuse victims.
Hayman was finally arrested in Australia on the old abuse charge and pleaded guilty.
What did Hayman plead guilty to?
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Hayman sat in court today and “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.”
