The rabbi, 36, who is also a school teacher, is suspected of impersonating an Education Ministry official and calling children in the afternoon when he believed their parents not to be at home.
Police began investigating after four children complained about a man who had called them in the afternoon and asked them frank sexual questions. The children’s parents then alerted police.
Police said the suspect made 1,200 phone calls, used a pay-as-you-go phone and called random numbers to try to cover his tracks.
Police said the rabbi told them he was not harassing the children, according to Channel 10, but that he was studying child sexual assault and trying to find out when children are exposed to sexual subject matter.
Souns like a sick guy that I would not trust teaching my kids. The research excuse is one that is commonly used by perverts. To me the tipp off is the pay as you go phone used for the calls.
#1 ,3,4 No need slandering somebody you know close to nothing about besides some news story. The Torah says you must judge others favorably even if it seems hard to beleive anything else happened besides what you can see with your naked eye.
Just another candidate for having his smicha revoked.
