Much love and support to the survivor and to everyone brave enough to come forward. No words.....

LOL at Weberman's wife carrying a Lord and Taylor bag. hahahaha

good for all those courageous victims speaking out. looks like the walls of abuse and secrecy are finally breaking down.

Castration sounds like a good idea - without anesthesia, in a public place. Let the punishment fit the crime.

There is no punishment to fit a crime like this. For him, that is. She will be punished with every beat of her heart as long as she draws breath.

What's the constituency of the jury?

[Rochel]

Wow, so many courageous victims speaking out against him (and others). I am happy to see that and in awe of their bravery. I wish them all the best!

Truly heartrending to hear those girls speak. Very brave to do it on camera!

It just makes you think how many THOUSANDS of boys and girls, many of them now men and women, have undergone sexual abuse in the religious community. They're sitting next to you in shul. They're people you say 'hi' to in the street. And they live with it every single day.

I hope that this is a watershed case. Every single act of abuse that's prevented by awareness and deterrence is a fantastic thing!

God bless Rabbi Horowitz!

You are so right but i still would rather skin him alive then let him go on with his life

B"H I realized the Weberman type really weren't religious long ago. His chevra dresses in Purim costumes all year long.

The victims need lots of praise for the strength to expose the menuvals and lots of love.

there is something i don't quite understand . how did weberman get access to the victim's bedroom ? in those 'religious' home , there's always someone in the house . how did the fam let a man in her room ? this is weird .
or supposedly no one was in the house , the victim, knowing that she was sexually abused , and did not agree with that , why did she let weberman in , why did she opened the door ? i wouldn't .
