SANFORD, Fla. —
Sanford police arrested a rabbi for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor.
Authorities said a 15-year-old girl contacted them in March, telling police Lloyd Haughton, a rabbi affiliated with the Synagogue Beth Israel on Maple Avenue, had been molesting her for the past two years.
The victim told police Haughton touched her inappropriately.
When confronted and questioned about the incidents, police said Haughton denied all allegations.
In late April, investigators were informed by the victim’s mother that the victim was pregnant with Haughton’s child.
