Haredi Seattle Day School Teacher Pleads Guilty To Child Sex Abuse-Related Charges
Rabbi Jordan ( Yaakov) E. Murray "pled guilty to two counts of Communication with a Minor for Immoral Purposes, R.C.W. 9.68a.090, which are Gross Misdemeanor sex offenses that require him to register for 10 years as a sex offender. R.C.W. 9.92.020 provides for a year’s incarceration and $5,000 fine per gross misdemeanor, but he will likely receive a suspended 2 year sentence in which he serves 90 days confinement on electronic home monitoring…"
Frum Follies reports:
Rabbi Jordan ( Yaakov) E. Murray, was arrested for allegedly molesting two 2nd grade girls in Seattle’s Torah Day Grade School, pled guilty on February 19th.
Rabbi Murray pled guilty to two counts of Communication with a Minor for Immoral Purposes, R.C.W. 9.68a.090, which are Gross Misdemeanor sex offenses that require him to register for 10 years as a sex offender. R.C.W. 9.92.020 provides for a year’s incarceration and $5,000 fine per gross misdemeanor, but he will likely receive a suspended 2 year sentence in which he serves 90 days confinement on electronic home monitoring if Minnesota Adult Probation accepts transfer of the case. King County jail is overcapacity as it is, so the Court would be unlikely to throw out the plea deal just to jail him. If Mr. Murray’s conduct deviates during the 2 year suspension, he could face incarceration with only minimal findings (though Minnesota jails are likely no less overcapacity than King County’s).…
As FailedMessiah.com reported in may of last year, Murray was originally charged with child sex abuse in the first degree.

10 years registered as a sex offender. Wonder if his rabbi will go to court with him to try to have it ended earlier. Just like the Chabad/Young Israel rabbi unsuccessfully tried to do in Brooklyn with another registered sex offender, and failed.

The stupidest thing that this guy did was not joining the Ger chassidic sect. He could be walkin' free in Israel this very day if he did.

Guess what? Murray's sentencing hearing on April 25 resulted in a SUSPENDED SENTENCE and an $800 fine. There is no justice.
