A Brooklyn rabbi is awaiting arraignment Friday on charges he sexually molested a 9-year-old boy at his yeshiva on Ocean Parkway.

Police charged 60-year-old Joel Kolko with four counts of sex abuse and endangering the welfare of a child.

They say the boy claims he was abused during the 2002-2003 school year at the private school for boys in Midwood where Kolko works.

His family filed a $10 million lawsuit against the school, claiming it protected Kolko from other sexual abuse allegations. The school denies the allegations.
