RAMAPO — Two convicted sex offenders recently have moved to new addresses within the town and police have updated their public records in an effort to warn neighbors.

Both men now live at new addresses in Monsey.

Shimon Rosen, 42, moved to 68 Laura Drive. He had previously lived elsewhere in Monsey.

Yoel Oberlander, 30, moved to 30 West Maple Ave., upstairs, according to the state Division of Criminal Justice Services, which maintains a website list of sex offenders.

Both men notified Ramapo police of the moves within the past month, according to Lt. Mark Emma.

"They are required to tell us when they move and they complied with the requirement," he said.

Rockland school districts are informing parents of the move.

Clarkstown sent an email to parents Wednesday and East Ramapo was planning to do the same Thursday. Ramapo Central was considering doing the same.

Rosen is considered a level-three offender, which means he is at the highest risk of repeating his crime. He was arrested July 27, 1991, by Ramapo police. He was convicted Sept. 3, 1991, of second-degree sodomy of a 12-year-old and a 7-year-old boy, both strangers to him.

He was sentenced to five years probation.

Oberlander had sexual contact with an 11-year-old girl.

He pleaded guilty in 2002 to second-degree sexual abuse, second-degree unlawful imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a child, all misdemeanors.

His sentence was six years probation and he was classified as a Level 2 offender, considered a moderate risk to re-offend.

Oberlander was charged in 2009 with a misdemeanor because he was living near a school and a park in violation of a 2007 county law.

The law was thrown out by the state Supreme Court and the case was dropped.

Neither man had been charged since their original convictions, police said.

Classification levels

• Level 3 is considered at high risk of repeating an offense. Police can provide schools and other establishments dealing with children or other vulnerable populations with an offender's photograph, address and background information. Level 3 offenders remain on the state registry for life.
• Level 2 offenders are considered at moderate risk of repeating an offense. Police can provide the same information they provide with Level 3 offenders. Level 2 offenders can petition to be taken off the registry after 30 years.
• Level 1 offenders are considered a low risk to repeat. Police can notify schools and other establishments of the offender's name and ZIP code.
Sex offender registry

• The state Division of Criminal Justice Services maintains a Sex Offender Registry Information Line at 800-262-3257.

I hope the community is extremely vigilant.

[WoolSilkCotton]

Vigilant about what, corn popper? To make sure they get shlishi next Shabbos? They're Unserer, aren't they, so they must be innocent, right? Framed by the antisemitic system.

Isn't is considered loshon hora to notify the neighbors?

[corn popper]

WSC,
Did you fall on your head today. Have you ever seen me defend a molester?

[Isa]

Move to Texas...
trash like this gets 20 years

[WoolSilkCotton]

Corn Popper, I've seen you defend a lot of bad behavior by the frumma. Your performance regarding the Photoshop incident has not been your best moment.

If we've found common ground on at least this one topic- that the religious community at all levels, especially the leadership, needs to excise the cancer of child molestation from its midst, and do so via cooperation with the legal process- that is great, and I apologize for being unaware of your position on this topic.

WoolSilkCotton said that but he dies have evidence to back him up
after kolcos conviction he was given slishe in a frummoe shul in south fallsburg. Then, a few weeks later the boy and the father who went to the police where thrown out of the same shul on shabbos.

so what he said is not that far fetched.

In addition sometimes they actually finds this guys in cherdie summer camp that is what happened with kolco
r

[tooclose2detroit]

get caught with a little coke, and you get a couple of years in jail-get caught shtooping little kids up the butt, and you get probation?????-WTF?????

[WoolSilkCotton]

2c2d, there's nothing quite like the political protektzia that the frumma enjoy in New York.

[Bench Kvetcher]

Last known adress for child rapist YM Weingarten is 30 W. Maple avenue. Right across the street from Kol Yaakov where the fornicator in chief Tropper was the Grand Poobah.

[LIL]

Wait. Convicted of sodomizing two young boys and no jail time? Who was the judge, Jeffery Dahmer?

[george]

Call in Babitt for this one.

[Dave]

At this point, nothing should surprise anyone anymore. Whether you want to admit it or not, your Cult Leading Rabbis are allegedly running/bought off government at ALL levels throughout the state. Go ahead guys, molest all those sweet little girls you're put in charge of, even if you have a history of prior similar activity. It's like Caligula's time. I've heard some bizarre stories, but can't be sure if they're 100% accurate so I won't go into the details, but there are some interesting things going on in Ultra-Orthodox Ramapo.

WSC,
As a former New Yorker turned out-of-towner and a "frumma", I will clarify my position.
1. Bad behavior comes in all stripes; it shouldn't be tolerated anywhere. Leadership should denounce evil behavior and expel its perpetrators. Zero tolerance.
2. All people are accountable for their actions. However, the more a person presents himself as a holy person, the greater the responsibility to live up to the level. Minor infractions are magnified, especially when they become public knowledge.
3. No segment of the population should be painted with a broad negative brush. The good people far outweigh the bad.

Regarding "picture-gate" I feel very strongly that the Chasidic community is entitled to set their own tznius standards. Outsiders may feel that their standards are a result of misogyny or psychosis - everyone is entitled to their opinion. If no crime was perpetrated then live and let live.

[Jewdo]

Does any body know why Lebovits is not on the sexual offender registry? I heard he was on before but he has been taken off now?

this is the main beef we have they do not do it period

[WoolSilkCotton]

Corn Popper, Seymour, I agree with both of you.

[corn popper]

Seymour, WSC,
In the community where I reside, I DO speak out against it.

[Yechiel]

Shmarya:
Any updates on the Lebovitz case?
Has anyone bought your silence? Or perhaps threatened you?
FM is my only source of information regarding that case. I enjoyed the good reporting here and hope you will continue to update us as soon as you know more.

[Shmarya]

Please.

No one "bought my silence" and no one "threatened" me.

There is nothing new to report.

[Yechiel]

Corn popper:
I share your thoughts and beliefs. I see you also get a kick out of the misspelled word 'frumma'. That should be pronounced fruh-mah...

End of troll.

[Kmarna Rabbi]

Any updates on the Lebovitz case?

[yudel]

we ought to have some folks in monsey and elsewhere out at night with flyers posting the telephone poles and everywhere else with the names, addresses and pics of these bastards.

we ought to get some group of night riders doing this. Easy to do.
Stirs the pot.

[Yechiel]

Shmarya:
OK; just making sure...

[Samuel Rogatinsky, Esq.]

Get help for sexual abuse...

[Kara]

There's a doc series episode on coverups within the community and how people won't speak out. www.sexscandalsinreligion.com It's so heartbreaking how victims are even pushed to suicide

[Tikvah]

Both of these men should be exiled from their communities. No jail time? Probation? You've got to be kidding me. Those children don't get probation. They have to live with the abuse for the rest of their lives.

I'm outraged.

[former masmid.]

scum of the earth. just look at these sniveling, repellant mugs...they look like satan's love children.
