Bryan Bramly was arrested outside his Chandler synagogue Tuesday.

GILBERT - U.S. Marshals arrested a rabbi outside of his synagogue in Gilbert for his involvement in a rape case that occurred 10-years ago.

Rabbi Bryan Bramley, 45, was arrested at Temple Beth Shalom Synagogue Tuesday morning by the Child Predator Apprehension Team of the U.S. Marshals and detectives with the New York Police Department.

Rabbi Bramley is accused of raping a 7-year-old girl in March 2000 in New York City.

The alleged rape occurred at the home of Bramley's family while the victim was spending the night. The Bramley's lived in New York during his rabbi studies.

The victim didn't report the incident until August 2009 when she was 17-years-old.

Bramley is being held at the Maricopa County Jail while awaiting extradition to New York to face first degree rape charges.

“The United States Marshals Service places a high priority on arresting persons accused of sex crimes, particularly those involving children," United States Marshal David Gonzales said. “Our offices in New York and Arizona working in concert with NYPD, were able to locate and arrest an individual accused of preying on our most valuable commodity, a child.”
