Andrew Goodman Gets 2 Years, Will Walk In September With Time Served
Goodman pleaded guilty to multiple felonies, including oral sex and anal sex with the victim. He could have been sentenced to dozens of years in prison. Instead, Judge Martin P. Murphy refused to allow the victim's parent or the A.D.A. to speak, and instead sentenced Goodman to 2 years in prison followed by 10 years of supervised release. With time already served, Goodman will be free in September. Goodman is a former Ohel employee.

please i hope someone sues ohel and closes them forever

Out of curiousity, what is that thing he is leaning on? It looks like some sort of disposable glove and towel dispenser?

1) I wonder if his attorney pulled off this plea deal specifically today, in order for the media to ignore it, due to his sharing name's with the Civil rights hero who died around this time in 64.
2) In this case the Rabbi's actually assisted the victims so hold off on the comments.

OK - I don't like Hynes or his office - and I too REALLY want them out, but in all fairness it does appear that the ADA did in fact object to this sentence and was trying for more jail time.

rebitzman
that is for public consumption
work with me hear
if hynes was serious then the offer would have been 10 years in jail
and the ada opened his mouth long after the fix was in
however on the brightside if it can be proven that he did anyof this while at ohel they can be sued and hopefully closed or force mandel to resign
and yes zweibel and hynes should be cellmates for what they have done to children

Meanwhile in Texas a 21 year old pedophile got life in prison for doing far less than the creeps I read about HERE!!
Life means 30 to 40 years and just when the state has to spend lots of money for health services--one gets released and put on the street

Not Shabbat here yet....
Today Sandusky was found guilty, the most senior priest in US history was found guilty of covering up priest sex abuse, and the US Attorney General filed bias charges against the FLDS on behalf of the townfolk who were not FLDS.
If the frum had watched television they would know to press their ear to the ground to listen for the drumbeat of hooves gettng closer and closer.

What is wrong with the NY justices system, case in point, Sandusky faces a minimum of 65 years after today’s conviction. Nevertheless, in the Goodman case he gets almost nothing, but, a sweetheart deal. In NY are judges appointed for life? What gives.
Posted by: Joe Field | June 22, 2012 at 10:41 PM
How appropriate that he posed for a picture by a toilet.
In the NYC area, the frumma get away with whatever they want.
As long as there are not enough people with the courage to step up and testify (because they are raised like sheep to be told what to do and what to think, and then they are intimidated by the frumma gangsters), and the DA's are elected by the frumma votes, and the judges realize that this is how the frumma are, and the judges themselves are pressured by local politicians, and so there will be no change.
When judges and DA's read about MBP, and how the frumma refuse to even consider that there could be a problem, and they will not even testify as to who was the mohel, how do you expect any judge or DA to really get excited about any frum-on-frum crimes?

in addition, the parents used the same mohel even thought their first kid got herpes.

We're not dealing with logical, educated people.
We are dealing with cultists who worship men and have rejected hashem.

Could be worse: A father in Texas recently killed a man attempting to rape his daughter with the entire state's approval.

"""""Could be worse: A father in Texas recently killed a man attempting to rape his daughter with the entire state's approval."""""
Yes Yes this was in the paper too!
Setting; some horse farm with workers coming on the farm.
The father hears his 4 year old daughter screaming. The father rushes to her aid and with his hands hits the attacker on the head and neck.
The police come the daughter is rushed to the hospital for a checkup and the attacker lays dead on the ground with his pants AND underwear down by his ankles.
There is NO question that the daughter was a [attempted?] victim of a sexual attack. The newspapers are not clear if the daughter was penetrated.
The sheriff does not arrest or charge the father. Within a week or so the Grand Jury issues a ruling ~~ Justified Homicide!

Well! contrast this with parents who will not do anything when their children get molested!
MY STORY!
Years ago I was at my mother-in-laws house .Had 'uncle' Bill from California there. I was studying for a computer science final. I was over hearing how my wife was complaining to her mother how uncle Bill was 'bothering' out daughter....
So I finally decided to take notice...
Very informal lunch. So I take mine and sat with my back against the wall so I can see everything. My family sits with me...
Here comes uncle Bill up behind my daughter and jabs her as hard as he can in her side!!
I get up and scream LEAVE HER ALONE!!!
Then I storm out of the house and my family leaves with me
Later I find out that he had to give up his medical license both in California and New York cause he 'bothered' some women patients. I even have a copy where he signs and "admits his guilt"
I even had a Chabad shaliah in Minneapolis [I think that is what he was] grab my private parts!! Inadvertently I was instrumental in causing him to divorce his wife but that is a long story
G-ddam perverts are everywhere
Posted by: Isa | June 24, 2012 at 09:03 AM
Regarding the former Chabad Shliach, he used to come to my parents house as a shabbos guest. He once tried to go upstairs from the dining room to use the bathroom (so he said) a minute after the youngest went upstairs for the same reason. He was never allowed into the house again.
BTW, it seems that Kol Zedek interviewed the victims & got his bail raised so that he's be off the streets. The judge accepted a sweet heart deal & railroaded both Kol Zedek (who had assisted the victims family) & the ADA.

To Leibel Schenkel!!!!
Are we talking about the same guy???
The Shul; Kenneseth Israel is in the city of St. Louis Park, Minnesota
Posted by: Isa | June 25, 2012 at 09:54 AM
I think his last name was Goodman. He was overweight, had long Peyos & wore a white hat.
Posted by: Leibel Schenkel | June 25, 2012 at 12:12 PM
WOW!!!
Bingo!!!
Well here is the story...
I drew away from this creep when he tried to grab my private parts ...he was joking but that was still an offense.
Then he had his clutches on another BT or whatever. Someone told me to warn the BT about him.
So between service I took the BT outside of shul and told the BT all about 'rabbi' Goodman. Well unknown to us the Goodman guy cracked the shul door a little open to overhear what I had to say
Then his kid came out and we changed the subject real fast
Back in services Goodman was bouncing his siddur around in his hands. I thought "tough cruncies that you overheard us"
Later I was told he divorced his wife. She went to the Satmar to find a husband and that was that.
What incensed a lot of people was that when a car hit him at night [wearing all black] then people found out he only had ONE year of yeshiva [if at that] and he calls himself a rabbi.
About me...
The community broke apart so I was not missed as it was assumed that maybe I was someplace else.
I got laid off and found a job in Houston. I told just two people and that was 10 years ago.
Posted by: Isa | June 25, 2012 at 04:55 PM
you all speak as if you know somethingsomething about the whole Goodman story....... well, you don't. I know more than you do and the Ribono Shel Olam knows the truth. Ohel, btw, DID investigate after he was arrested as did Women's League and they found no improprieties during his tenure. This case had no business getting lumped into the whole Kol Tzedek initiative - the kid's parents went to the cops - they didn't pay mind to their Rabbonim telling them not to. It was the DA's office that hooked Hecht up with this case so they could have a case to publicize and make it look like they were working diligently to rid our streets of predators and molestors posing as frum Rabbonim. It was a smoke screen to allow business as usual in the holier than thou community - which, for what it is worth, Andrew and his family are not a part of... I know this because I raised him... he's my son. He may have gotten off lighter than he would have had Kol Tzedek not been involved and it was tried as a secular molestation case. The judge had finally had enough and signed off on the two years. Simply put, my son is gay and got (what he believed to be romantically) involved with the wrong kid (age-wise over all other things)... he broke the law - he owned up to that.... Shea Hecht used this case for his own purposes. Man has a seriously dangerous agenda and should be stopped.
