Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg – a longtime haredi anti-child-sex-abuse activist who has faced threats, harassment and ostracism along with two assaults (one with a gun and the other with bleach thrown in his face) over his activism – called the verdict political. The judge owes his election to New Square’s bloc vote, Rosenberg told the Journal News, and as long as judges are beholden to that type of political influence, "there will be no peace for children."
