school.
The JTA reports:
A U.S. judge cleared the way for the extradition to Australia of a man wanted in connection with alleged child sex abuse at a Jewish school.Victims and parents say they told the head of Chabad in Australia, Rabbi Yitzchok Dovid Groner, about Kramer and other pedophiles, but instead of reporting the abuse to police, Groner covered it up and helped Kramer flee.David Kramer, 51, a dual Israeli-American national, is accused of sexually abusing students at the Yeshivah College in Melbourne between 1989 and 1993.
A judge in St. Louis, Mo., sustained the motion for Kramer's extradition on Oct. 2 and U.S. marshals moved Kramer to Texas on Oct. 26, apparently in preparation to transfer him to Australia, JTA has learned.
Parents at Yeshivah College, an Orthodox boys' school that is run under the auspices of Chabad-Lubavitch movement, accuse school officials of helping Kramer flee Australia in 1993 after complaints were raised about the alleged sexual abuse of students. The allegations were not reported to police at the time.
Kramer went to Israel and then America, where he was jailed in 2008 after pleading guilty to molesting a 12-year-old boy at a synagogue in Missouri.…
