| CHARGED: Stanley Z. Levitt, left, is arraigned yesterday in Suffolk Superior Court. Levitt faces four counts of indecent assault and battery on a person under 14. |
A former Bay State rabbi was set free on $5,000 bail yesterday after pleading not guilty to sexually assaulting two 11-year-old students while he taught at the Maimonides School in Brookline during the 1970s.
Stanley Z. Levitt, 63, of Philadelphia faces a July 12 trial on four counts of indecent assault and battery on a person under 14, prosecutors said.
In one instance, Levitt allegedly sexually assaulted an 11-year-old male student in his hospital room while the boy was recuperating at Children’s Hospital in Boston after an accident, according to Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley.
A different 11-year-old boy was allegedly assaulted in three other attacks during a three-night visit to Levitt’s Chiswick Road home. All the alleged offenses occurred in 1975, Conley said.
Levitt has faced similar charges in Pennsylvania. He pleaded no contest to indecent assault and corrupting a minor, records show.
