BRIDGEPORT — A New Haven rabbi is accused of sexually assaulting a teenage student in the school he runs, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court.
The lawsuit claims Rabbi Daniel Greer, a former New Haven city police commissioner, sexually assaulted the teen over a three-year period beginning in the fall of 2002.
The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, also names The Yeshiva of New Haven, Inc. and The Gan School, Inc. as defendants.
“Dozens and dozens of times for a period of years, Greer sexually assaulted and abused a young boy in his care,” said the plaintiff’s lawyer, Antonio Ponvert III of the Bridgeport-based firm Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder.
Greer has not been criminally charged. His lawyer, William Ward, denied the allegations levied against his client.
