Sex Scandals in Religion – A Four Part Series – WORLD PREMIERE
Mondays, May 9, 16, 23 and 30 at 10:30pm ET / 7:30pm PT
We’ve heard about the infamous sex abuse allegations in the Catholic Church. This compelling, original documentary series takes an unprecedented look at incidents in four other mainstream faiths and their ensuing repercussions. Perhaps not comparable to the sheer volume in the Catholic Church, these cases present situations prevalent enough to merit exposure and censure.
Here is a link to the commercial for the series.

The website also states:
"...in Orthodox Jewry, a case involving a rabbi and young boys obscures the mechanisms of justice"

No less disturbing is the Wall of Silence episode, airing May 16. As the title suggests, a community-wide cover-up takes place in Orthodox Jewish enclaves in both Brooklyn and Winnipeg, where young boys report sexual abuses allegedly committed by two rabbis. Rather than remove the accused, leaders victimize the children and their families and seek to ostracize them. Evidently, the image of the community is more important than crimes committed.
Particularly poignant is the story of Daniel Levin, son of Globe and Mail books editor Martin Levin. Traumatized by his molestation as an 8-year-old, allegedly at the hands of a Winnipeg rabbi, Daniel suffered from severe depression and later took his own life.

I helped the producer with this, JWB.
I was supposed to be in an episode, as well, but there was an illness in my family and I was unable to travel as a result.

Why is he confused? Is it because he can't accept that the unnamed individual he's talking about isn't a "great leader", "gadol", "tzadick" even though he is well known? Separate note, this is about the most thoughtful and intellegent policeman I have ever heard.

He was my professor at Brooklyn College. Horrible professor!
