DTT: This is a very sad case. Innocent girls were s preyed on. Parents need to be more cautious whom their daughters or even their sons chill with. Hopefully the sentencing handed down will send a strong message to the perpetrators that they will be caught and imprisoned.
- Nechemya Weberman, 54, sentenced to 103-years for molesting a girl, 12
- Originally 118 under operation Kol Tzedek, Hebrew for ‘voice of justice’
- Of those 25 ended in jail terms, 33 felonies and 13 misdemeanors
- Ten cases dismissed because victims backed out or parents allow testimony
‘We feel now it’s good for the community to know those who have been convicted,’ Hynes’ spokesman told the New York Post.
There were originally 118 cases viewed by NYPD detectives under operation Kol Tzedek, Hebrew for ‘voice of justice’.

…
At least 10 cases were dismissed and seven downgraded because victims backed out or parents refused to let their children testify.
But prosecutors believe victims have gained courage since predators like Weberman – whose supporters allegedly tried to bribe the victim and threaten her boyfriend’s business – have been jailed.
Weberman, 54, who worked as an unlicensed therapist in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was sentenced in January following an emotional testimony by his victim, now aged 18.
…
She said she was ‘a sad girl who wanted to live a normal life but instead was being victimized by a 50-year-old man who forced her to perform sickening acts again and again.’
She had testified that Weberman abused her repeatedly behind his locked office door from the time she was 12 until she was 15.
…
Both Weberman, 54, and the accuser belonged to the Satmar Hasidic sect.
…
Her school had ordered her to see Weberman because she had been asking questions about her religion and was dressing immodestly in violation of the sect’s customs, and it was believed she needed to be helped back on the right path.
Weberman wasn’t a licensed counselor but spent decades working with couples and families in his community.
…
‘Nechemya Weberman is innocent of the crimes charged,’ defense attorney George Farkas insisted at the sentencing.
