A Melbourne Jewish school has apologised for covering up the sexual abuse of students by a teacher.
David Kramer, 53, has been jailed for three years and four months for fondling four schoolboys between 1990 and 1992 while a teacher at Yeshivah College.
The St Kilda school did not alert police and sent Kramer to Israel when confronted by angry parents in 1993.
Yeshivah principal Rabbi Yehoshua Smukler unreservedly apologised for the “historical wrongs” after Kramer’s sentencing on Wednesday.

“Yeshivah sincerely regrets and unreservedly apologises for not informing the police at the time the allegations arose,” Rabbi Smukler said in a statement.
