Synagogue sexton indicted for sexually abusing bar mitzvah students
A sexton at a synagogue in Ashkelon was indicted for sexually abusing seven minors he was training for their bar mitzvahs, according to an indictment cleared for publication today.
The charge sheet, which was filed last month, says the 63-year-old would kiss the minors and touch their behinds.
Prosecutors request he be held in custody until the end of the legal proceedings.
