Rabbi Moshe Menachem Taubenfeld, a 55-year-old teacher in the Skvere hasidic village of New Square, New York, has been indicted on charges of sexually abusing a pre-teen boy over a five-year period from 2001 to 2006, the Journal News reported tonight.
Taubenfeld – who is the brother of convicted pedophile Herschel Taubenfeld – is charged with charge of second-degree course of sexual conduct, a felony that carries a maximum prison sentence of seven years.
He was arrested on January 17.
It is unclear when Taubenfeld was indicted or why the indictment may have taken so long to be filed.
The alleged victim, identified only as Laiby, told the Journal News the abuse started on September 11, 2001 and continued until he turned 13 in 2006.
