for a million dollars the community could pay for at least 100 weddings, feed 200 families for a year , or provide support for the many victims of abuse. instead it'll go to lawyers in a pointless effort to free a pedophile from his rightful place. at least theyre consistent.

I understand the need for funds for an appeal, but why so much money? Don't they have connections to liarslawyers who would help out for free or minimal fee? After all isn't mostly what has to be done is to file some paperwork and wait for the judges decision?
How in gods name would that money be spent?
Posted by: Efram | December 13, 2012 at 02:14 PM
Rumor’s are that Allen Dershowits (who was in the court room following NW trial) believes the evidence were too circumstantial, and will accept the appeal for a $M.
BTW, I did some searching on GOOG and I was shocked to see that many studies have shown the wrongfully- conviction-rate in child sex abuse cases (where there is usually no physical evidence, and only 1 witness – the victim) is about 8-12%, and in cases where the victim had a reasonable revenge motive, the statistics goes up.
Now, don't jump on me that i pointed out some facts.

I sew that in the press about 6 other Victims, I wonder if its true. I listened to the DA many times and i didn't hear it from him or his associates.
If there were 6 other then he is definitely guilty.

I understand that the guy she married is not the same one who was her boyfroend at the time the video was made and shown to the police. is this not true? Why is it s "revenge" to have him go to jail for having a FORMER boyfirend arrested when she now appears to be happily married to someone else.

Weberman and the teenagerâs father secretly videotaped her in bed with an previous boyfriend while she was still underage, which they took to the DA to file statutory rape charges against the man, both the defense and prosecution agree. The teenager threatened suicide, and the statutory rape charges were dropped.

Shmarya, do you think Sam understands the terms יצאי ירכו/חלציו. Closest Torah phrase to “released from your daddys seminal vesicles”. That’s probably also too difficult for him to comprehend. He can only understand the Rebbe’s mangled distortions of Torah, spoken in ridiculous Yiddish.

thank you for the explanation to my "revenge" motive query. Still seems ridiculous to me. First of all, people backrarck all the time, Some very well connected people were willing to bet half a million dollars on her backtracking and those same people say once the ball got rolling she couldnt do it?
Also,it would make sense if she was still suicidal or mourning the last relationship but sounds like she is in a better marriage than many people without any significant childhood traumas. She has clearly and definitevly moved on. Obviously the jury saw right through this whole "revenge" bullshit.
Posted by: njsmiley | December 13, 2012 at 05:05 PM
Do these Satmars know what an appeal is?
Also, by the time they get to it, hopefully other victims will have courage to come forward.
Where do all these chasids get money for all their appeals? and chasunahs? Maybe I should go collecting by them.
Posted by: Bas Melech | December 13, 2012 at 05:15 PM
Satmar is claimed to be one of the largest and most influential Hasidic movements in existence today, but formal demographic comparisons with other Hasidim are not available. It is believed to number close to 130,000 adherents

What is the problem of the revenge motive for one's rapist or abuser?
Posted by: Bas Melech | December 13, 2012 at 05:29 PM
To Bas Melech
Some of Weberman's supporters say she made up the whole story as revenge for him getting her boyfriend arrested (by way of making the bedroom video of her and her boyfriend). Of course those charges were dropped and anyway that was a former boyfriend that was arrested.
Still, the Weberman's defenders say this motive was the reason she "made up" all the accusations and went through with the trial. I was only pointing out that the argument makes no sense - despite apparently being brought out in court by the defense.

I havens robbed any banks or stolen any horses.

But I have plans, and could really use the Satmar money destined for criminal types like me.

If this is a true poster (and not a joke) it is very sad indeed - and a real indictment of the Satmar community.
They don't realise that theyre not living in some backwards 3rd world country. Judges and juries in the US are not biased, or antisemitic. He was judged in a court of law and he must suffer the consequences.
Why all this desperation to protect a Sofeik rapist?
Are there not other, more worthwhile causes?
Posted by: MosheCohen | December 13, 2012 at 06:27 PM
i just logged into the victim's husband facebook boory deutsch , then i clicked the victim's name viki deutsch , his wife . i got into her facebook . OMG!
i was shocked to see her revealing pics .
this girl does not look satmar at all .
tight jeans, super tight dress showing her butts , sports car . what does she do in the satmar community? what do her parents do in the hassidic satmar community ?
they don't belong to that community at all.
i changed my mind about the victim. she looks like a whore .not a reason to sexually fool around with her . i don't blame weberman , though . she searched for it . after seeing her pics , i believe that this girl was wild and that she did not want to wear thick tights .
she dresses like a whore , attractive designer tights and long boots that gores up over the knees . prostitutes dress like that .
that's def not a tznius way of dressing in an extremist chassidic community . it attracts attention . not acceptable .
yes, she is the type to show porn to.
she'll go along with it.
i don't think weberman raped her . he might have touched her , flirted with her , stuff like that . she must have enjoyed it , bc she does not seem to be affected at all . go into her facebook .
see her pics . see for yourself .

p.s viki deutsch is vulgar . she uses bad language . for a girl who was educated in an all girls frum yeshiva is shocking .
my children who were educated p.s are more polite and i'm very proud of them . they'll never use that kind of language or post anything that vulgar on their facebook . it's a shame .
this girl has no education . i believe now what kind of a girl she is , a slut .
i also believe only a girl like that with a lot of chutzpah can stand for a trial .
she is determined to get a lot of money from the weberman . her husband is also interested and i'm sure they'll go to the end together for it . they are a good pair .
who , in the satmar community , will marry a girl like that , wild and loose ? she's lucky .
the husband must know that nothing serious happened .
she is joking about what happened to her .
a girl who would have gone through the trauma of sex abuse would not joke about it .

do me a favor , go into her facebook
viki deutsch and look at her posts and pictures . then, tell me if a girl who was raped at 12 looks so happy, integral and unaffected .
if she was raped at 12, she would not look happy the way she does . she would not even want to have a husband .

Posted by: SkepticalYid | December 13, 2012 at 07:55 PM
@janc,
this girl , as satmar as she was , had a boy friend at 12 and i'm sure he was not the only one .
i never heard a satmar girl having a boy friend at 12 . extremely rare .
if she was really raped , she would not go so easy to get a husband and look so relaxed about it and happy the way she is.
girls who were raped so young do not get near men and do not want to get married and be with a man at all , even after years of therapy. they are affected for life . not for her, bc i don't think she was raped . she would not be joking about it , the way she jokes in her facebook.

Try to keep in mind that it doesn't matter if she was begging for it - a middle aged man having sex with the most willing and eager 12 year old is guilty of statutory rape. It's that simple. It's just something you can't do with impunity.

i'm not as crazy as her parents .
which parents, in their right state of mind, would have left their 15 year old daughter go alone in a car, with a 50 year old man, FOR A 12 HOURS ROAD TRIP ?
who is crazy ?
her parents are to be blamed for her misery and sufferings . they are the one who caused it by letting her go. they made a big mistake .
parents must protect their children, no matter what . they are the one who should go to an asylum. not me . i have all my head on . and i would have said : no .
i don't care if the man is a grand rebbe ,
an influencial rabbi in the community or anything .
what age are we living in ? in the middle ages where ppl have to please the king and do whatever he says without questioning ?
her parents are crazy . i would have dropped the counseling sessions and go somewhere else . or have nothing to do with him and them altogether .
and i would have not let my daughter in the same room with a 50 year old man , especially not a rabbi ,for 4 hours behind
closed doors for so long . i would have demanded the door to be left opened and i would have sent someone sitting at the entrance , for safety .
why would they learn all those torah laws for ? what's the point of knowing them ?
i am not 'religious' and certainly not a chassid, but i know that i would not have done what her parents did and not let the rabbi abuse his power , bc that's what the case is all about.

Posted by: SkepticalYid | December 13, 2012 at 09:12 PM
D,
I will try to educate you a bit. You say that you are not religious and not a chassid. Neither am I, but my father was a chassid before the war (a very young one, but a chassid nonetheless). He gave me some insight as to chassidism, in that the rebbe is held in such high regard by his followers, second only to G-d himself. If the rebbe, or his trusted advisors, tells a chassid to do something, the chassid will do so unquestioningly in almost every case. Those few individuals in the community who may think otherwise are put under unbelievably intense pressure to change their ways. So, when the Satmar religious leadership told the girl's parents to send her to Weberman, they obeyed, like good chassidim do.
By the way, do you know that after the mother began to question Weberman, she was forced to write a letter of apology? Can you imagine someone who is not part of the chassidic mind-meld doing that?
Posted by: Gefilte Fish | December 13, 2012 at 09:20 PM
For the record, I consider myself M.O./conservadox, but certainly not chassidic.
Posted by: Gefilte Fish | December 13, 2012 at 09:21 PM
@ah-pee-chorus , if you were raped, you would not look as cool as she does . trust me , you will look affected or feel affected inside and not be as strong as you are now .
you would know yourself the big difference , and more and more as the months go by .

if all the evidence against weberman is as flimsy as the lingerie then he is an innocent man.
the store where the lingerie was bought is smack in the heart of williambsburg on lee avenue. no chasidic man walks into a lingerie shop in the middle of williamsburg. it is clear that it was his wife that shopped there. if he wanted to buy lingerie he would not buy it in the middle of williamsburg. as for the appeal. and raising funds, why dont you all google so you can find out that every day across america people are convicted and there are those who still believe they are innocent and help raise money for their appeal. Lets set the record straight Satmar is not saying that she should not have reported him nor that he he had a right to abuse her. THEY BELIEVE HE IS INNOCENT. That is very different than supporting a pedophile and they have the right to believe that, they have that right legally and morally that is why there is an appeals process. Plus all of you out there get it into your heads. SHE NEVER REPORTED THIS TO HER TEACHERS PRINCIPALS NOR HER PARENTS. THEREFORE SATMAR CANNOT BE ACCUSED OF ANY COVERUP. according to the expert who testified when asked why she never reported did not cite any intimidation. he said many victims jewish or otherwise dont report their abuse

Where did you get your degree in psychology? Leave her alone. She's been through enough.

Too bad they can't put Weberman and Rubashkin in the same cell. Well, maybe Rubashkin will object, especially if he ever drops something on the floor that requires him to bend over in front of Weberman.

Shmarya, this troll is using FM to engage in more harassment against the victim, posting what he says is her real name and describing FB accounts, etc. he's truly sick and his posts are sickening.
Part of me sees the posts as evidence of the harassment the girl faced and still faces, and the tremendous courage she showed. But my better judgment asks you to delete his posts and not let FM be misused as a forum to harass the victim. She's been through enough.

d, you were also abused, weren't you? Somehow you have some sort of personal history with this type of thing.

1. If I am Satmar I believe EVERYTHING I was taught. We are perfect vessels for Torah. The world outside is corrupt. If I have a question there is always a Rebbe nearby who will answer it.
2. I therefore cannot accept that something in my community is corrupt. The belief system I was brought up with has no release valve to accommodate acceptance of anything contrary to what my Rebbe's have told me. The only options open to me are first to deny, deny and deny. Second, lash out,, at the victim, the press, the goyim, the parents of the victim and anything in range...except my system. What I have learned all my life cannot possibly be wrong.
3. Future? Civil Suits against Satmar and then you will see a huge change. The only way they can protect their empire will be to distance themselves from Weberman and claim he was acting (illegally) all on his own. Just as the Catholic church has done a 180, the Satmar too will be forced to take a public position of protecting victims. It will be interesting to watch. The old Gadolim will be forced out for younger 'outwardly thinking' ones who while continuing their traditions will be more aware of the world outside of the Williamsburg/KJ axis. They see the political winds starting to blow in a different direction. Too much money at stake to risk their investments on scum like Weberman; he will be out of sight and out of mind.

Not true, she is not on facebook. Take everything you read with a really big grain of salt.

@ ike,
the victim , rivkah krauzs , goes on facebook by the name viki deutsch ( her married name). enter viki deutsch and u can see her profile . the most interesting part is her pictures . she does not dress like a satmar. fish net tights , tight jeans , and super tight red dress protruding her butts ( shown sideways).
her posts are rather vulgar ,....' kiss my ass '.....that's not a language used by a 'frum' girl . not surprising , those frum girls do not have an education . see it for yourself .
i'd like the jury to look at those pics .
the krauzs fam are not satmar , no way .
i don't know what they were doing in the sect . they don't look satmar at all.
the victim's brothers who also have facebook ,{ type krauzs , and they'll come up } are basically clean shaved , especially her brother who lives in london, england . he does not look satmar at all .( he is the husband of batsheva krauzs)

@dh,
i could not have been sexually abuse , no way . not the slightest chance . i'll tell you why .
i was not raised in a chassidic or frum community . therefore , no chance . none .
my secular community is a healthy one .
no pressure, no tensions .
i love my community . i'm blessed and proud of it .
