An Israeli rabbi has been charged with repeated sexual assault on students in a girls’ school in a city north of Tel Aviv where he used to work as principal.
Rabbi Yigal Krispel, 47, was arrested last week after two former students at a school for Haredi (Orthodox Jewish) girls filed complaints against him saying he had sexually assaulted them.
The Kfar Saba Magistrate’s Court has extended the remand of the Netanya rabbi, who has also been accused of raping a young teacher.
The family of the 20-year-old teacher complained that Krispel had abused his power to have sexual relations with her.
