Chazaka means that if a person has generally been known to try to do what's right you must begin by giving him the benefit of the doubt when there are allegations. It's similar to the English expression innocent until proved guilty, but it includes even publicising the allegations, which may turn out to be defamation.
3. My advice is to release him and drop the charges or pay for
Rivkah   (11.20.13)
Alan Dershowitz to defend him.
4. Yona Metzger is NOT a chareidi
Benny ,   Gush Etzion   (11.21.13)
Rabbi Metzger is NOT a chareidi, under that big homburg is a kipah serugah, he never attended a chareidi yeshiva, Natri Grossman the editor of the yellow rag Peles dragged him in to Rav Eliyashiv and they told him if he pledged allegiance they would make him Chief Rabbi but he is NOT chareidi so why should the chareidi press care about him?
5. 4 Ultra-Orthodox is Haredi. Benny ain't pope yet!

6. Metzger is Dati Leumi ex Army
S Judah ,   Jerusalem   (11.21.13)
In any case this matter has been reported extensively on the Yeshiva News Web Site. I expect the end result will be egg on the face of the prosecution services.
