Top court orders accused sex abuser Leifer to appear before psychiatric panel

The Supreme Court orders alleged serial child rapist Malka Leifer to appear before a psychiatric panel that will determine whether she has been feigning mental illness to avoid extradition to Australia, rejecting an appeal from her attorneys against a lower court ruling.

Leifer will be evaluated on Wednesday by a board of medical experts, which has been ordered to provide a recommendation by December 10.
