NEW HAVEN, CT — Prominent city Rabbi Daniel Greer took the Fifth Amendment multiple times in a civil trial after he was accused of sexually molesting a former student on multiple occasions.
Greer denied having sex with plaintiff Eli Mirlis on a parcel of land in Hamden, the only time during testimony he flat out denied a sex abuse allegation, according to the New Haven Independent.
Greer, leader of Yeshiva of New Haven, Inc. and The Gan School, Inc., was sued by a former student in federal court. Mirlis alleged in a lawsuit that Greer sexually assaulted him beginning in 2002 when he was 15-years-old.
