Another Alleged Perp, 3 To 5 More Alleged Victims, At Camp Dora Golding

At least three separate campers made police complaints against one rabbi-staffer. I'm told the complaints did not result in a criminal prosecution due to an odd understanding of Pennsylvania law that essentially makes it the responsibility of the children and the prosecution to prove the abuser was getting sexual pleasure from the abuse.

 

At least three separate campers made police complaints against one rabbi-staffer at Camp Dora Golding. These are in addition to the complaints made against Chisdai Ben Porat this past summer. But while Ben Porat was arrested and is being prosecuted, I'm told the complaintsabout another staffer did not result in a criminal prosecution due to an odd understanding of Pennsylvania law that essentially makes it the responsibility of the children and the prosecution to prove the abuser was getting sexual pleasure from the abuse.

For example, if a molester gropes a child's thigh or buttocks, say, and sleeps in the same bed with a the child and 'spoons' with him, that molester would not be prosecuted in that county unless the child was able to testify that the molester who did this was sexually aroused by doing so.

(In essence, if the molester does not orgasm on the child or in front of the child, or unless he is otherwise unmistakeably sexually aroused, he won't be prosecuted.)

That said, other information I have shows that the boys who made these complaints are believed to be telling the truth by social workers, therapists, police and prosecutors.

Despite the police complaints made by these three boys, haredi rabbis rushed to back the accused molester. One – the brother of a noted kanoi – even gave him a job as the head of a new yeshiva – but that yeshiva has still not opened.

On top of all this, there appears be two other alleged victims who have not yet come forward.

It's clearly obvious from PA's odd definition of the perpetrator obtaining pleasure from the children (s)he uses for SA that parents shouldn't send their kids to any summer camp or Yeshiva in PA until PA changes its odd definition of CSA.

The most infuriating part of this story is the recent events going on in North Miami Beach. Eight Orthodox Rabbis gave haskomos to [redacted], the "rabbi" who abused these children, to serve as the Program Director of the Miami branch of Yeruchim Shain's Adelphia Yeshiva in an attempt to clear his name, and not one of them spoke with the victims or their parents!

Rabbi Zweig of Yeshiva Elementary School let [redacted] go about a month ago after doing a thorough investigation. Rabbi Janowski, the only one to sign who had any facts on the case, knew there were three victims since July and tried to cover it up, but word got out - and now he's desperate to make it look like [redacted] was dismissed for insubordination in order to save his own skin. Actually, this is partially true since the administration told [redacted] not to be alone with his 4th grade students and they caught him not listening.

CDG has been harboring and aiding molesters for years. I know of one person they switched his job to keep him away form the kids but still let him stay in camp... what a sick place!

[ah-pee-chorus]

it was obvious after reading the details of the incident this summer that they were lying and covering up so this is no surprise and probably the tip of an iceberg going back decades.

[amhaaretz]

yes, apc, decades. normal ethical people would be cautious. particularly in the last 15 months after a specific expose. i'm sure you and others read it. instead this.....makes one want to (redacted)
