Whether the 12th or the 21 st Century, there are basic guidelines on modesty. If her skirts would cover her knees the Duchess of Cambridge would be an icon of tzenius. Fashion does not exclude modsty.

You are right that a girl aged 9 and up should know she must not be alone with a man or allow a man to touch her. However in this case it was the teacher who was responsible to observe these halachahs. The school sent her to him and she had a right to expect him to behave correctly. The failure goes all the way up to the Satmar Rebbe who heads the Satmar schools.

The way a girl or a woman is dressed should not permit a man to trespass the civil and the criminal laws. Nekuda.

The prosecutor failed to produce any evidence, other than the woman's testimony, to show they had ever engeged in yichud or negia, and also failed to produce any medical evidence that any sexual abuse occured. That is why the community considers the case more like the Beilis or Scotsboro or Salem cases (unpopular minorities prosecuted without evidence). Of course one should remember the prosecutor was just defeated for reelection in part since many hasidim defied the local machines and supported a black attorney running on a platform of treating all groups fairly.

There are always two sides to every story. Yours and everyone else's.

Thanks for the info. I believe you.

Exactly. They worship a pedophile.

G-d made us in His image and likeness. Each Jewish hero had a colorful past. G-d loves those who love Him. There must be a special place in hell for these monsters. Keep the faith Lady.

Good to know another bit of truth. KEEP BUILDING !!

Oh sorry.....wrong story.

..and stayed and shamed these sorry excuses for humanity.

and not hide behind his poster boys. It looks like the girl went to secular court when every one told her to shut up. If they had dealt with the pervert within the community, she wouldn't have to go to the police. Its just like the story of Kamtza Bar Kamtza , when the Rabbis at the party stood by and watched Bar Kamtza become publicly embarrassing predicated the destruction of Jerusalem.
