Rabbi Baruch Lebovits' Bail

Anti-sex abuse advocates continue to say that Rabbi Baruch Lebovits – the convicted sex offender whose family was allegedly extorted by Rabbi Samuel Kellner, who bribed witnesses against Lebovits – was not granted bail and will not be released. They are mistaken. Here is the proof.

 

Last week, I reported that Lebovits was granted bail and that he would get out of prison once the related arrangements were made.

Several anti-sex abuse advocates have posted unsourced reports that contradict my report. Here is proof that those anti-sex abuse advocates are mistaken:

PEOPLE v. LEBOVITS

The whole idea of a Sedder is that you should lean comfortably and explain to the four boys. And if the boy is too young, you should intiate.

The Fifth Question: What does Lebovits wear under the kittel at the seder?
Hint: It's the same color as Kolko and the "other" BL.

Shmarya, even if he once held the title legitimately, why do you insist on calling him rabbi? Is it a dig on BL or a scorn at rabbis in general?

I want to wish all my brethren a Chag Kasher V'Semayach. I am fortunate to have been invited to Obama's seder this year and will be attending.

Shmarya, To date I am not aware of any confirmation that he has left prison upstate. Given a normal lag of over two days in moving or releasing prisoners it is possible he won't make it home for the seder.

I know I posted he was not out as of Saturday and indeed he was not out. I agree, as I also posted the appelate order this morning, that he is authorized to get out on bail. But for reasons which are not clear, but I suspect related to setting up electronic monitoring, he was not out over the weekend. It will be interesting to see what happens with his appeal.

[Shmarya]

He needs $250,00 in cash and the monitoring in place.

The order wasn't final until Friday, which means he couldn't do much about it until this morning.

He needs $250,00 in cash and the monitoring in place.

That's a non-issue. The man has more money than he knows what to do with. Not to mention he literally has God by the balls.

Lebovits Is No Longer in Jail
by Yerachmiel Lopin on April 18, 2011

According to the NYS Department of Corrections online database, Baruch (Mordechai) Lebovits is no longer in jail as of today. The database is usually updated during the wee hours of the morning so it probably means he was released some time yesterday.

As of yesterday the records showed he was still inside which would have been true at end of Saturday. He has not been exonerated. The Appellate Court agreed to hear an appeal and allowed him to stay outside jail on electronically monitored house arrest with $250,000 cash bail. He has up to 12 weeks to appeal while he is under house arrest. If he does not win his appeal he goes back to serving his sentence of ten and two thirds to thirty two years.

That is false.

Vin reported he got bail and was released, which was false.

He was awarded bail but was not yet released, because he needed time to meet the conditions of the bail.

And I was the first to report that.
