Hasid Arrested For Photographing Alleged Rape Victim As She Testified In Court Linked To Williamsburg Hasidic Modesty Squad

Joseph "Yosele" Fried wears many hats (all of the flat, round and black): Yiddish journalist, Satmar Twitter feed editor, anti-eruv committee member, and member of Williamsburg's Va'ad Hatznius, hasidic modesty squad.

The New York Daily News reports that Joseph Fried – one of the four men arrested yesterday for illegally taking pictures in court of the alleged victim as she testified in the criminal trial of accused hasidic rapist Rabbi Nechemya Weberman – is the publisher/editor of the Twitter feed Satmar Headquarters. He also works as a journalist, most likely for one of the Yiddish papers Satmar controls.

But Fried is more than a haredi Twitter enthusiast and Yiddish journalist.

FailedMessiah.com has been told that Fried is a member of the Williamsburg anti-eruv committee, which is known for occasionally physically attacking hasidic Jews who rely on the Williamsburg eruv and push baby strollers or carry books and other items on Williamsburg streets on Shabbat.

But Yosele Fried is even more than that.

FailedMessiah.com was also told that Fried is a member of Williamsburg's Va'ad Hatznius, the hasidic modesty squad Weberman helps lead. The Va'ad Hatznius enforces its version of modesty, sometimes through use of violence and extortion, forcing store owners to stop carrying women's stockings that are the wrong color or too thin, banning denim skirts and immodest wigs, terrorizing women (and sometimes men) who reject its views.

And that puts Fried's actions in court yesterday and Wednesday in a much more ominous light.

This is a picture of Joseph "Yosele" Fried posing in front of pro-eruv posters he allegedly tore down in Williamsburg on June 28, 2009:

I thought it was immodest to photograph women. Will she be pixelated out?

A member of a Hasidic goon squad photographing a rape victim and publicizing the photo. In what material way does this differ from what the Mafia might have done in their heyday, or tried to do?

[Dina]

I predict he'll be joining "Footsteps" soon. In the next few months, he'll come to realize how crazed his behavior has been, and how limited his options always were. In a way, he never had a choice. Until mow.
This arrest might just be an ironic blessing in Yosele's life. This might serve to free him. Going to jail might actually be the catalyst needed to open his eyes and set him free. It's not only my prediction - it's my not-so-silent prayer for him.

[jancsibacsi]

Theese brain damaged hassidim never learn they keep repeating the same stupid mistakes,they dont have any common sense,they think they are above the law or a law unto themselfs

Lemon Juice!!!!

[elwerthy barak]

FRIED; f u c - off and fade away you little jerk tosser.

[elwerthy barak]

to jansc: actually its simple . they do beleive they are above the law of the land .and yet they look at millions of "normal jews" as nearly as inferior as the goyim. if you are not satmar etc or a reader of tanya the fourth gospel of cg=hrist the schneerson , you of no consequence, good shabos one and all.

[Outcast Yid]

Shave off the beard and peyos, and you'd think he was an SS officer.

This is a relatively minor violation that will result in a warning and probably a $150 fine, considering the four aren't court regulars and never knew the rule against photos, not having been advised of it by anyone at the court.

Also it is important to note that at least one of the arrested for photos (Lemon Juice) is a supporter of the female accuser.

[joe]

u have been duped, he is a known rabble rouser in willi, but he has no official capacity, the twitter account is is own, he is no member of no modesty squad he is a bouchur recently engaged.

[To MO]

This guy is a Journalist, he should know this is not allowed

[No_Light]

So he's a member of the Va'ad eh? The same Va'ad that selected victims for Weberman and probably other therapists.

It makes me laugh you know, American (and UK) media are always getting themselves in a fucking tizzy about Sharia, and how sinister and terrifying this "parallel justice system is". And all the while, the Tallitban run their Va'ad HaTznius* patrols, operate Beis Dins who protect rapists, child abusers and spousal abusers, fraudsters and welfare cheats.

They are operating openly and illegally dealing with criminal matters, and nobody bats an eyelid, or they keep quiet, scared that they'll be called an anti-Semite.

Yet, if you mention Sharia, used to settle disputes, to oversee arbitration and mediation in business and marriage/family matters, suddenly there's a burst of "How dare they! If they're in our country they'd should obey our laws, sharia is wrong!"

Abe Foxman has a lot to answer for. Not to mention the entire BBHBB (bearded black-hatted bastard brigade)

*The actual Taliban had a "Ministry of Vice and Virtue" which had the same ethos.

Dear Mr. Fried.
I know you will probably never read this as this part of the internet is forbidden to you because it violates the twisted view of modesty promoted by your cult. First, may you and your kind burn forever in hell for attempting to intimidate the victim in this crime. Second, may you and your various and sundry cronies be found guilty of this heinous crime in a court of law, and may you end up in the same prison as Mr. (note I do not refer to any of your kind as Rabbi-as I do not believe any of your qualify for that honor)Weberman. May any and all horrors in that institution befall you and fully debilitate you for the remainder of your pointless and disgusting lives. May the day come when you do meet your maker, and may he turn his back on you for your actions during this life, and consign you to never ending levels of punishment until time itself comes to an end. There is no defense for what you attempted. There is no defense for Mr. Weberman. If the earth were to open tomorrow and swallow all of you, I doubt that there would be a tear shed anywhere.

[jj]

the courts are not supposed to let anyone with a camera or cell phone into the court . they always check at the entrance before letting you in .

how did fried get away with that ?
they should charge him with smuggling a camera device into the court . he prob hid it in his pants . i hope he 'll get jail

what i like with those hassidim , they ignore the sec laws and do what they want to do , until they get arrested . the best part is the hiring of a lawyer and put some bucks down and the record , of course .

fried is a criminal and violent .
look at the pic, he is ready to attack .
i'm sure the satmar community has enough cash to put bail on the outlaw so that he can avoid bail .

I dunno, it's never stopped Deremes. If only!

[bas melech]

I am confused. I thought that charedim were forbidden to twitter? It's the old it's alright for me but not for you double standard these ultras practice. Also, what is he doing with pictures of a woman? and she's a "slut"? Does he gaze at her picture in the privacy of his room?

As I wrote, I am confused.

[JessicaR]

Janscibacsi, I have read your posts for months with increasing interest and respect. May I ask about your background? Where did you grow up? What Chassidic group--or non-Chassidic group--were you affiliated with?

If you don't want to answer my nosy questions, I totally understand.

Jessica

[jj]

correction ......
....so that he can avoid jail

[seymour]

just asking why everybody clearly thinks he is 100% guilty maybe he isn't?

[jancsibacsi]

essicaR-I was bar mitzva here in the usa, until the age of 12 i was in hungary near satmar we used to have a heder there in the town and a shoihet there were about 50 jewish familes there after ww2 i was born after ww2 mothers side were stamer hassidim

[John Nagle, Silicon Valley, CA]

From the New York Post: "Now we have to take all their phones, just like in a gang trial," a law-enforcement source told the Post. "It's the same thing you have with the Bloods or the Crips."

Trying to intimidate a witness was a big mistake. New York City cops and judges know how to deal with this. They beat the Mafia. They deal with gangs routinely. The group doing the intimidation is now viewed by law enforcement as a criminal gang. Future intimidation attempts will produce a heavy police response.

[JessicaR]

Thanks, Jancsibacsi.

Jancsibacsi, In Hungary, what did you hear about Joel Teitelbaum? What was his reputation among non-Satmars? I have heard mixed things about him and wondered what your opinion was. Thanks.

[jancsibacsi]

JessicaR--Plenty an uncle of mine who learned prewar in satmer told me stories he saw with his own eyes the satmerers fighting among themself when teitelbaum was being considered to be head rabbi stones throwings at each other 1 section was called the berbershters some did not want him to be elected as their rebbi they always were fighting among themself and with others,i would catogorize them as very disturbed or trying always to get attention like 2 year olds.

[jancsibacsi]

JessicaR-As a child in a communist country and the rebbi being here in the usa i heard very little but i do remember him being mentiond almost as a god there and also our heder rebbi spoke against the zionists in israel.

That same article has the following statement, which is very false and misleading:

"In June, four ultra-Orthodox men also were charged with trying to force the teen to drop the case."

Nobody was forced. They were trying to "BRIBE" the teen to drop the case. The NY Post should get its facts straight.

No.

You're wrong.

The girl's BF was extorted and his restaurant's kosher certification removed in a scheme to get the girl to leave the country before the trial and "disappear."

As part of that scheme, the carrot part, the BF was allegedly offered $500,000 to take the girl out of the country and hide with her until the SOL on Weberman expired.

[Fay]

You all are a bunch of jewish anti semites. "YOU ALL HATE HASSIDIC JEWS. SHAME ON YOU"!!!!! I personally happen to know the family and know not only are the defendants sisters not supporting her, but despise her for shaming them in the community. "NONE OF THEM WENT TO THE TRIAL"!!!! I HATE YOU ALL JEWISH ANTI SEMITES FOR YOUR PACK OF LIES" MAY GOD TAKE REVENGE IN YOU AND PREVENT POOR WEBERMAN FROM BEING TRIED GUILTY, GOD FORBID"!!!!! "MAY JUSTICE PREVAIL"!!!!!

[Mike]

Hasn't this poor young woman suffered enough already? Don't these spineless cowards trying to intimidate and harass her have a shred of decency? They'll go to any lengths to protect their distorted perception of reality, won't they?

From what I hear, she did quite well on the stand. I'm glad she was able to testify and stand up for herself and other victims in the face of all this adversity.

[Kirly]

Yes, Fay, if they have to deal with people like you I understand why they might be concerned.

[danny]

Fay. Shame on you for wishing that God take revenge on the good readers of Failed Messiah, while speaking ill of the victim.

[dh]

Fay, I don't think anyone ever expected the defendant's siblings would support the young woman that he raped, torturing her over years, while your community continues to torture her. Did he rape his family members too? Is that why you expected them to support the abused and the people of New York?

[dh]

Obviously the haredim register to vote. So, they must receive jury summons'. Do any of them show up for jury duty? Do any of them make it through voir dire and sit?

[jancsibacsi]

Fay-Justice will prevail and you will be shamed that youre defending a beast who took advantage of an innocent young girl,i may say you are the lowest form of scum that walks on this earth,and i add to it that i have weberman family relatives an aunt of my mother was a weberman,you better retract what you wrote because you are realy going to regret it if you are half human.

[dh]

No Light, I have decided what your Chanukah present is. I am having delivered to you, every night, coffee so strong it can be chewed and a syringe. Please follow the instructions to consume at bedtime so that you can post all night and I can wake up every morning and read them.

[No_Light]

Did someone mention caffeine? I live on the stuff. It fuels my anti-BBHBB laser eyes.

Thanks dh. :)

Now onto Seymour, who I'm surprised at.

just asking why everybody clearly thinks he is 100% guilty maybe he isn't?

If you were innocent of raping a child, if you had no idea what was going on, would you offer to pay her half a million to drop the case and flee the country?

[Alan Weberman]

[Gefilte Fish]

Fay,

Has it ever occurred to you that her family isn't supporting her because they fear the community and know no other way? Has it ever occurred to you that Satmar pixilate the pictures of women, EXCEPT for rape victims (in order to intimidate them)? Has it ever occurred to you that it's odd that a member of the vaad hatzniut locked himself in a room with a 12-year-old girl?

Your tired tirades may work on your fellow frightened cultists, but not on us. It's so convenient for you to scream anti-semitism instead of examining the twisted lifestyle of Satmar.
