Haredi minister defends child abuser
The deputy education minister Meir Porush is making himself look bad by speaking on behalf of one of the worst offenders in a case from about a year ago where several Haredi children fell victim to child abuse and homosexual rape, and the man's daughter is adding insult to injury too:
It goes without saying that if the court didn't impose proper jail sentences on the other defendants, then they've failed justice too. Certainly making them pay monetary compensation is a punishment they deserve, but they should still be imprisoned, because they could still pose threats. What if they're allowed back on the job by the disgraceful community heads who allowed them to get the jobs at the yeshiva in the first place?
Deputy Education Minister Meir Porush appeared in court Monday to request that an ultra-Orthodox teacher currently facing trial for severe physical abuse of pupils and multiple incidents of sexually assaulting minors, be temporarily released from custody in order to attend his daughter’s wedding.If she's asking for his release, she's just as bad as he is, by failing to distance herself from a tyrant. What this man did to the students in his clutches is abominable, and he should be rotting in prison for many years.
Avraham Rosenfeld, 49, was indicted in August last year for a series of abuse charges, including sexual assault, indecent acts, extortion under threats, and making threats against students at the Talmud Torah Machzikei Hadass School in Tel Aviv.
Five other teachers from the Belz Hasidic sect school were also indicted at the time for attacks on minors in their care. In June this year, Yisrael Haim Shapira, 65; Haim Fishgrund, 69; Moshe Hirsch, 39; Menachem Alberstein, 62; and Avraham Pinhas Deitish, 53, were all sentenced to community service and ordered to pay NIS 10,000 (USD $2,800) to the victims.
Rosenfeld’s trial, however, focusing on more serious crimes, is still ongoing. Upon indictment, the Tel Aviv District Court ordered he be imprisoned until the end of legal proceedings.
Last month, he filed a request to leave police custody for one evening to attend his daughter’s wedding. Speaking during the Monday hearing, Porush implored the judges to accept the request “for the sake of the daughter,” according to the Ynet news website.
It goes without saying that if the court didn't impose proper jail sentences on the other defendants, then they've failed justice too. Certainly making them pay monetary compensation is a punishment they deserve, but they should still be imprisoned, because they could still pose threats. What if they're allowed back on the job by the disgraceful community heads who allowed them to get the jobs at the yeshiva in the first place?
“We have heard many things about the accused. We are today focusing on a bride and the most important day of her life,” Porush reportedly said. “It is a trauma to have a wedding without one’s father.”Forget it, pal, that's not assuring, and does no favors for the victims. If the daughter sees nothing wrong with her father's betrayal of morale, then she doesn't have any either. Definitely not if the following is fact:
The deputy minister from the United Torah Judaism party said that he would personally commit to taking Rosenfeld from the prison to the wedding “to check that nothing happens, God forbid.”
Rosenfeld also faces charges of abuse of his own son and extortion and threats against his own wife.Oh my god. The man turned on his own son and wife, and his daughter turns a deaf ear and blind eye at such disgust? Man...what truly twisted and screwed up dummies are running amok in that community. One commenter said:
The state prosecution argued Monday that allowing him to attend the wedding would “give him the opportunity to influence and impair his wife’s testimony.”
A statement from Porush said that he had appeared at the request of the daughter, who he said was in attendance at the hearing.
According to Minister Porush representing the daughter, she will become traumatized if her father is not present at her wedding. If only some of the indictments are true, daddy is a monster and she should be ashamed to have him present at her weddingShe should be ashamed to be even remotely defending him. And another said:
Traumatized? Poor dear! The trauma that those kids your saint [violated] is much worse! We always become so self righteous and hypocritic whenever the Vatican and their priests are mentioned - ignoring 14 year old brides, Haredi "cults" exploiting women, Rabbis with mikve cams, pedophiles slipped out of Brooklyn and into Bnei Brak, and our own Incest Capital of the Jewish world here in a Haredi settlement. Those who live in glass houses...Well let's not forget what Islamofascists have done either. Example: those running that rape gang in Britain, while the authorities turned their backs. Another said:
Once again we see that there is zero connection between outward religious observance and moral behaviorYou could put it that way, I suppose. And one more said:
Whether he attends her wedding or not, the indictment has already "traumatized" her... and probably will screw up the wedding, or at least her status as a "desirable bride", if her father is convicted.She certainly doesn't deserve to get the kind of weddings they advocate if she's going to act as apologist for such a filthy, sorry excuse for a human being. That Porush would take the scum's side is an utter disgrace and compounds the impression he has no moral compass.
