Brookline —
A former Maimonides School teacher pleaded guilty Wednesday, Aug. 1, to charges of sexual contact with children more than 30 years ago, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley.
Rabbi Stanley Levitt, 66, most recently of Philadelphia, pleaded guilty to four counts of indecent assault and battery on a child as the trial was set to begin, according to a release from the Suffolk DA’s office. He will be sentenced Aug. 2.
Had the case made it to trial, Assistant District Attorney David Deakin would have shown that Levitt had sexually assaulted three sixth-grade boys during the mid-1970s.
“This is a victory, not just for the victims in this case, but for every person who suffered abuse at the hands of a trusted adult,” Conley said. “The defendant’s full admission of guilt is proof that the men he abused as children were telling the truth when they finally shared their terrible secret.”
