ONE of Victoria’s most senior Jewish figures questioned over allegations of child sexual abuse has launched legal action against the head of a victims’ advocacy group.
In a writ lodged in the Victorian Supreme Court this week, Rabbi Abraham Glick accuses victims’ advocate Manny Waks of defaming him in a series of online articles and Facebook posts.
Rabbi Glick has alleged Mr Waks published articles that falsely implied he had perjured himself in court, was guilty of child sexual abuse and had admitted to abusing children.
Rabbi Glick, the former principal of prestigious Jewish school Yeshivah College, was stood down last week after allegations he raped a student in the school’s synagogue were levelled at him.
