David Yehudah Greenfeld, who was arrested on December 23rd on 3 charges related to child molesting, agreed to quit teaching over 6 weeks earlier according to Rabbi Nochem Rosenberg of Williamsburg.
Rabbi Rosenberg secured the agreement in writing after confronting Greenfeld with his victim at the Mosholow School in Boro Park on Thursday November 12, 2009.
Rabbi Rosenberg shared a copy of the note with me. He says the original is now in the possession of the NYPD officials in the Sex Crimes Unit in Brooklyn, but they provided him with a receipt.
According to Rabbi Rosenberg, the school removed Greenfeld from classroom duties, but it took a while more before they removed him from all contacts with children.

Earlier today a Borough Park source emailed me (Shmarya) about Greenfeld:
About 5-6 years ago, Rabbi David Y. Greenfeld was hired as a Rebbe by the Klausenburger Yeshivah Chazar Hakodesh, when the mother of a boy that was molested by Greenfeld found out, she phoned the then Menahel, Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchok Moskowitz (a Belzer chased), and he fired him the next day.
