Who Else Has Thompson Arrested?
Frum Follies
The blogger, Jewish Whistleblower stopped posting in 2005. But he’s continued to monitor abuse in the orthodox world, assiduously scouring press reports and court records. On a regular basis he shares important facts by commenting on Frum Follies and other blogs. His reporting of facts is consistently accurate and he’s alerted me to many things I did not know. — Yerachmiel Lopin Guest Post by Jewish WhistleblowerEarlier this week Brooklyn DA Kenneth Thompson’s office released 20 names (of defendants in cases where former DA Hynes refused to divulge the names because they involved Orthodox Jewish suspects and/or victims) to Sue Edelman of the New York Post. 14 of those names have yet to be publicly reported. http://nypost.com/2014/08/10/brooklyn-da-exposes-hidden-orthodox-sex-cases-kept-secret/ Today we learned from the NY Jewish Week that the DA’s office claims that “Since January, Thompson’s office has arrested seven people accused of sexual abuse in the Orthodox Jewish community”. http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/new-york/abuse-advocates-weigh-thompson Who are these people? We need to know so we can evaluate whether the corrupt Hynes legacy (one step closer to criminal charges http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/grand-jury-probe-brooklyn-hynes-article-1.1901435 ) including protecting abusers in our community has finally come to an end. I have been able to determine only 5 of the 7 arrested in Brooklyn this year: I don’t believe Brooklyn Rabbi Samuel Waldman ( http://frumfollies.wordpress.com/2014/03/06/rabbi-shmuel-waldman-who-teaches-at-bais-yaacov-arrested-for-child-pornography/ ) is one of the cases as Rabbi Waldman was charged with Federal crimes. I don’t believe Rabbi Menachem Tewel AKA Mendel Tevel is one of the cases as he was arrested at the end of 2013 ( http://failedmessiah.typepad.com/failed_messiahcom/2013/11/tewel-pleads-not-guilty-678.html ). Rabbi Tewel’s next court appearance is September 4, 2014. Then again I don’t know how the Brooklyn DA’s office keeps these statistics and that is one of the points of this exercise, to determine what the real statistics are. [Below is my best attempt to construct a list of the seven arrests claimed by Thompson in 2014]
1) Jerry Brauner arrested January 6, 2014
2) Jose Fernando (employee at Shlomy’s Bakery) arrested February 12, 2014
3) Moshe Shemtov arrested April 26, 2014
4) Joseph Schwartz arrested January 29, 2014
5) Yosef Ederi arrested June 13, 2014 6) Unknown 7) Unknown Any one have ideas as to the remaining names? It is imperative we monitor all cases going forward and hold the current DA’s office to the high standard necessary to protect our children and community from the monsters that thrived under Hynes. No more fixers. No more sweetheart deals without jail time or public sex offender registration like Rabbi Yehuda Kolko and Rabbi Lippa/Lewis Brenner. We will expose the predators, the fixers, the enablers and the protectors and any other corrupt entities that protect the predators. This will be done publicly like never before. No more corruption in Brooklyn. The Hynes legacy will end.
