Haredi journalist was arrested for child porn

The newspaper the offender in question works for is not made public any more than his name, but anyway, here's what the case is about:

A senior Haredi journalist has been arrested on suspicion of possessing pedophilic content.

Police say they arrested the suspect, a 58-year-old man, this morning at his home in Kiryat Yearim, an ultra-Orthodox town west of Jerusalem.

Officers who searched his house seized his laptop and cellphone.

The suspect will be brought today to the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court for an extension of his remand as investigators continue to probe the case, police add.

The suspect, who is not yet identified ahead of his hearing, is variably described in Hebrew media reports as the editor of, or a senior reporter at, a well-known newspaper in the ultra-Orthodox world.

Apart from privacy laws, why all the secrecy? Whoever the creep is, he and his newspaper should be boycotted into the ground. Yet another example of how the ultra-Orthodox world is not the saint they'd want everybody to think they are.
