Another Haredi sex offender extradited to USA
Israel National News says local authorities have acted responsibly by extraditing a Haredi alleged rabbi wanted on rape charges to the USA:
A Brooklyn "rabbi" who had fled to Israel in 2010 to escape arrest on charges of sexually assaulting children was arraigned in a Brooklyn courthouse on Thursday.Well this is good that Israeli authorities are acting more responsibly when it comes to such offenders. We certainly don't need them in our country, and the time's come to make it clear they cannot find haven here from the law after committing serious crimes.
Gershon Kranczer, 65, had eluded authorities for years in Israel before being arrested in January 2020. He was denied bail in his first US court hearing, which took place a day after Kranczer was extradited from Israel.
Kranczer was the principal of a Brooklyn yeshiva before fleeing to Israel, where he did not immigrate or have a residency permit, amid a criminal investigation in 2010. The US Justice Department asked Israel to extradite Kranczer for years, but Israeli authorities tried and failed to find him until January 2020, when he was arrested.
