MARK COLVIN: New South Wales Police have charged a 49-year-old man over the alleged abuse of two teenage boys in Sydney’s tight-knit Chabad Yeshiva community.
The man in question is a successful businessman, Daniel Hayman. In the 1980s he was a volunteer at camps ran by the Yeshiva Centre in Bondi.
Later, he became a philanthropist and set up a separate synagogue. For years he’s been living overseas.
The advocacy group Tzedek tipped off police to Daniel Hayman being back in the country.
Tzedek’s Manny Waks spoke to Sarah Farnsworth.
SARAH FARNSWORTH: How did you know Daniel Hayman was back in the country?
MANNY WAKS: We were given that information by a contact, that he had come back to Sydney apparently for the funeral of his mother, and when we had that information, we conveyed that to the New South Wales Police.
