PRESCOTT (AZ)

PRESCOTT, Ariz. A former rabbi was sentenced to more than a dozen years in prison for viewing sexually explicit images of young children on his computer.
Fifty-six-year-old former Rabbi David Lipman received a 13-and-a-half-year sentence for one charge of sexual exploitation of a minor and lifetime probation for three counts of attempted sexual exploitation of a minor. He also has to register as a sex offender.
The charges stem from images that the police downloaded from Lipman's computer while he worked at a temple in Prescott.
He also faces 16 counts of child molestation and sexual abuse charges in an investigation that involves two teenage girls.
