Yet another sordid affair concerning a 'rabbi'. Anyone can grow a beard pray 24/7 and then revered. In my book, most are a bunch of crooks, paedophiles or nuts.

Of course we have to wait until the investigation is finished. So, to give my opinion about that case is improper. But we see it again: power corrupts. It isn't only in Israel or the Arabic-Muslim countries or Russia,... but also in Europe, the USA,... The latters always like to teach others how to do, to behave,... but, they're the same. Scandals about politicians (ministers, parliament members, police, other civil servants), rabbis, bishops,... here and everywhere appear regulary to the surface. 1. they have not to do it. 2. they are so stupid to think that their high position covers their acts, makes them untouchable,... but they forget there is always an investigation from a journalist, police,.., possible, sometimes after a tip from correct citizens or jealous colleagues,... All those criminals must be punished very severely.

Concepts of honesty, truth and integrity seem to be missing in some people's education. Some people have never learned the concept that ethical behavior must be a foremost and supreme objective, and must be implemented at all times, in all circumstances. How sad.

why mention that he was involved with porn when he got out of it when he met Rabbi Pinto 10 years ago?

It would be interesting to know if and by whom Pinto was given Semikhah, or is simply called "rabbi" by his supporters ?

his character and background in essence
