Melbourne’s Yeshivah College apologises for ‘protecting’ teacher jailed for sexual assault

A MELBOURNE Jewish school has apologised for not telling police of allegations against a teacher jailed today for sexually assaulting schoolboys.

David Kramer, 53, was today sentenced to three years and four months in prison for groping four boys through their clothing between 1990 and 1992 while a teacher at Yeshivah College.

Angry parents accused Yeshivah College of protecting Kramer by sending him to Israel after it was alerted to allegations against him, and today demanded an apology.

Following today’s sentencing, college principal Rabbi Yehoshua Smukler issued an “unreserved apology for any historical wrongs”.
