Chabad Pedophile Allegedly Rapes Teen In Prison

Samuel David Cyprys, convicted of sexually abusing nine boys at Chabad’s Yeshivah Centre in Melbourne, Australia after he had already been cited for child sexual abuse in a previous case that was known to Chabad leaders, has allegedly raped another teenager – this time a fellow prisoner, the Herald Sun reported Sunday.
The 46-year-old Cyprys, who is himself a Chabad hasid, worked at Chabad's Yeshivah Centre as a karate instructor and security guard. Chabad leaders knew of his previous child sex abuse but hired him anyway, and then spent close to two decades trying cover up new abuse allegations against Cyprys made by students at Chabad. Chabad at times denies this coverup took place and other times hints that it did. Australian authorities are believed to be investigating Chabad leaders and may charge them with crimes related to that and to related child sex abuse coverups.
Cyprys began serving an 8-year prison sentence in December. He was reportedly transferred to a high security facility earlier this month after his alleged rape of an incarcerated 18-year-old became known.
Police reportedly interviewed a 46-year-old prisoner at Cyprys’ prison early this month about five possible counts of rape and sex abuse. That prisoner is believed to be Cyprys. No new charges against Cyprys have yet been filed, but a delay of this type – especially with a case against an imprisoned offender – is not unusal.
