Indicted Molester In Chabad Pedophilia Scandal To Be Married Next Week

…David Cyprys, and he is marrying Michelle Coleman, his live-in girlfriend/common-law wife, next Thursday in Melbourne. Coleman is the former executive director of the Jewish Community Council of Victoria (Melbourne) who has been criticized by alleged victims and activists for her failure to take concrete steps to combat pedophilia. She has, I believe, several children. At least one of them is a special needs child.
Cyprys is a convicted child molester who got a very light sentence (not much more than a parking ticket) after prominent community members vouched for him with the judge. The head of Chabad in Australia, Rabbi Yitzchok Dovid Groner, protected Cyprys and kept him employed – at Chabad's boy's grade school / high school complex, Yeshivah Centre.
Cyprys served as the center's head of security and had keys to the entire building and therefore the ability to be alone with children in dark places.
Cyprys used that access and the access he got from serving as the school's part-time self defense / martial arts teacher to allegedly rape and abuse at least 11 more children.
Cyprys has been indicted for those alleged crimes. His trial is scheduled to take place next year.
Another convicted pedophile, David Kramer, is about to be extradited from the US to Melbourne to stand trial for child rapes and abuse he allegedly committed while teaching at Chabad's Yeshivah Centre. Rabbi Groner allegedly helped Kramer flee Australia when parents of his alleged victims got too hot for Groner to handle. He went on to live in Israel and the US, and was convicted of child rape in St. Louis and sentenced to seven years in prison.
On a side note....
Trial is set to start 29th July and is expected to run for 3-4months...

Will he wear a kapota at the wedding? Who is the officiating Rabbi: was he a victim of DC himself, or does he have children, or relatives, or friends, or relatives of friends who were? But in the words of one of the Yeshiva Centre leadership, "he probably did tshuva", and anyway, it was a long time ago.
And the circus continues in Chabad Melbourne. If you dreamt this stuff up, and wrote it up as fiction, noone would believe you.

I have never understood the phenomenon (well documented) whereby some women seem to be attracted to men who have had past serious convictions or are currently serving long sentences for serious crimes (or on death row where applicable) or are accused and awaiting trial for serious crimes.

They're actually a perfect match! Neither of them live 'in this world'. They're both complete idiots with no sense of reality!

@Emanuel Newgant
Not only has she lost her job because of him and, I believe, a lot of friends, but she is marrying him when his bail conditions do not allow him to stay overnight. She will only have a few months before he is locked away for a long time. You are right - you could not make this stuff up. She must be a total moron!!! !!!!
I would think the officiating Rabbi would be Rabbi Mordechai Gutnick and you can bet your bottom dollar that Tafi Aron will be there too.

APC, that was pretty good. I just checked the NAMBLA site (googling that alone is likely to end me up on some FBI list) nd apparently they do take donations.
Maybe they could out up their own fundraiser for him, like the Satmar did for Weberman?
I can see it now, "NAMBLA and Chabad Stand Together!"

So how does she let him know that she wants a bit....
Does she dress up as a little boy just to get him aroused??....
Posted by: Aussie | November 29, 2012 at 01:00 PM
Or maybe she dresses up to look like his cute little Asian ex-boyfriend, Leo????

Is there a privilege of marital confidentiality in Australia?
Posted by: dh | November 29, 2012 at 06:15 PM
She might be an accessory.

@dh: no, there is no spousal privilege in Australia. This was recently confirmed by the High Court.
