Case of Rabbi Hirsch Travis Rabbi in Monsey, accused of posing as a Brooklyn doctor specializing in infertility problems, and allegedly sexually abusing and assaulting a patient.

Case of Rabbi Ephraim Goldberg - Boca Raton, Flordia Pled guilty to one misdemeanor count of exposure of sexual organs in a washroom at a Palm Beach Mall. Case of Rabbi Melvin Teitelbaum This case has been buried deep; it is virtually impossible to find any information on Teitelbaum on the Internet. All we have is this: Accused of three counts of sex crimes against two boys under the age of 14, and one count of assault with intent to commit rape against one boy's mother. The charges were dropped for lack of evidence. Charges dismissed at the request of the District Attorney's Office, which conceded it had insufficient evidence to prosecute. Teitelbaum then a filed a $10-million damage suit in Los Angeles Superior Court. In his suit that the Jewish Federation Council of Greater Los Angeles, the Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles and the family that accused him conspired to have him arrested and charged. Later, confronted with evidence that placed Teitelbaum elsewhere at the time of the alleged incident, the siblings changed their story, a move the prosecutor said was "devastating" to their credibility. |
