A Brooklyn rabbi accused of sexually assaulting several teenage boys was sentenced on Tuesday to 60 days in jail and six years on probation.
In 2013, Yoel Malik was charged with the sexual assault of four boys aged between 13 and 16.
He pleaded guilty of luring a child and sexual misconduct the following year, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.
As part of the plea deal, Malik, 36, underwent a sex offender class and other probation requirements, and the felony count of luring a child was subsequently dismissed, according to the Daily News.
Malik’s victims were students at the now-closed Satmar yeshiva in Borough Park, Brooklyn.
The rabbi was accused of fondling the boys and allegedly forced two of them to perform oral sex on him.
A Brooklyn hotel manager said he admitted Malik and a ‘tall boy’ into a room in January 2013, where the pair allegedly stayed for eight hours, according to Pix 11.
