Jerusalem sexual conversion therapist charged with offenses against minors
A Jerusalem conversion therapist is being charged with sexual offenses against minors he cared for, under the guise of attempting to “cure” them of their homosexuality.
Reuven Israel Velcher, 44, is accused of goading several minors into performing indecent acts on him and on each other as part of their therapy sessions. He is also suspected of abusing his patients verbally and emotionally during their time with him.
The accused is alleged to have told his patients that his behavior was designed to reverse their homosexual tendencies.
