In the latest - and hopefully last - of the appeals made by Haredi child molestor Malka Leifer's legal defense team, her current lawyers kept up the use of horrific blame-the-victim tactics:

The Supreme Court on Thursday heard the appeal of alleged sex abuser Malka Leifer against her extradition to Australia, where she is wanted on charges of rape and sexual assault. The presiding justices were skeptical about the merits of her defense team’s arguments.

[...] During Thursday’s hearing, Leifer’s defense attorneys argued that the acts she had committed were consensual. Furthermore, since Israel’s extradition treaty with Australia does not specify the sexual acts she had committed, she should not be deported, they said. Due to the intense media coverage Leifer’s six-year legal proceedings have generated, a jury in Australia would not be able to arrive at an unbiased decision in the case, her lawyers said.

Despite these arguments, the justices expressed skepticism on several occasions to their claims.

In response to the argument that a fair trial could not be secured due to the broad media coverage of the affair, one justice essentially admonished the defense attorney, telling him the huge media coverage came about because the defense team had dragged out the proceedings for so long.

[...] Dassi Erlich, one of Leifer’s alleged victims, said it had been “difficult to hear” the arguments of the defense lawyer that her abuse had been consensual. She said she was waiting for the day when she could tell her story in court.

It's absolutely offensive and truly horrifying the laywers would employ such a "defense". They should be disbarred for that alone. All the lawyers did was demonstrate how bankrupt their side is, along with the vile sect that's doubtlessly funding Leifer's legal bills.
