A former Brighton resident admitted in Suffolk Superior Court today that he sexually abused three boys while he was working as a religious teacher at the Maimonides School in Brookline in the 1970s.
Rabbi Stanley Z. Levitt, most recently of Philadelphia, pleaded guilty as his trial on four counts of indecent assault and battery on a child was set to begin. Last December, Levitt had agreed to plead guilty, but abruptly changed his mind at the last minute.
In a hallway interview at the time, Levitt told the Globe, “the only victim here is me.”
Now, the 66-year-old Leavitt faces sentencing Thursday morning in the Boston courthouse.
