A JEWISH teacher who committed “unforgivable” crimes on four students at an orthodox Melbourne school has been jailed for a maximum of three years and four months.
But father of 11 Rabbi David Kramer could walk free from prison after just three months because of time already served in pre-sentence detention.
The 53-year-old paedophile is believed to be the first member of a Jewish institution in Australia to have admitted – and been sentenced for – child sex crimes.
The sentence was welcomed by victims, who said while it was lower than they had hoped, justice had been served.
Kramer pleaded guilty to molesting four boys while teaching at Yeshiva College in the early 1990s before fleeing to the US, where he was jailed for further offending.
