The video is fine. It keeps playing after the first video. You must have delayed watching it for a couple minutes.

I hope this story stays on the news radar and doesn't die down and get forgotten quickly. What went on with Weberman, and others like him, (sexual abuse, intimidating modesty squads, misuse of monies, unlicensed therapists, etc.) needs to be exposed and the public needs to be aware of what is really going on in these cult-like ultraorthodox communities. These sickos thrive inside the strucures of power and secrecy the community has built.
I keep hoping that the victim's family has strong support - they surely will need all they can get. It must be hell to go through this and now be at risk for the retaliation of the Satmar community. Is there anything we on FM could do to help support them?

this is the mother's fault or parents of the abused girl . does she have a dad? if she doesn't, then i understand the bullneck took advantage of her . if the wild girl has a dad , then he is the one responsible for all the pain his daughter endured . how can satmar parents could have allowed their daughter go with a 50 year old man for a 12 hour trip upstate , just him and the girl ? this is not credible . either the parents are crazy or out of reality . i can assure you that no secular jewish parents would have let their 15 year old daughter go with a 50 year old man alone in a car for a day trip. unconceivable .
this mother and the two aunts do not look satmar at all . how did they got into that ? they should have known the danger of joining an extremist jewish sect . even if you want to be religious , you don't join a sect, i'm sorry . if you do, you'll have to suffer , bc they'll take advantage of you sexually and financially . and there is nothing they can do, bc they'll be trapped . they have no say like in a free , more relaxed orthodox religious group . in a sect, everything is controlled . the members of the sect tell you what to do and you should comply and not question anything . how dangerous .

......' how can she be so blind ......, bc she was brainwashed to the core by the rabbis and officials of the sect to the point that she could not think for herself anymore . that's the danger ppl have to deal with when they join a sect .
that girl's family better go back where they comr from , to their normal roots and leave free .

....to their normal roots and live free .
