Orthodox Jewish leaders have been protecting child abusers, a TV documentary will claim tonight.

Dispatches found 19 cases where crimes were not reported as the community prefers to deal with it internally.

The show will claim that those who go to authorities face being spat at and driven out of their area.

It will show senior Rabbi Ephraim Padwa order an alleged victim to stay away from the police because the force is “non-Jewish”.
