Sydney detectives have charged a businessman with child sexual abuse offences at Bondi’s Jewish Yeshiva centre during the 1980s.
A 49-year-old man was arrested on Monday afternoon in the suburb of Queens Park in Sydney’s east and later charged with two counts of gross indecency against 14 and 16 year old males at the Jewish Centre in 1985 and 1986.
He has been refused bail and detectives want people with further information about the alleged 1980s offences to come forward.
Fairfax Media has confirmed the arrested man is Daniel Hayman, who has been residing in Los Angeles in recent years.
The arrest and charging of Hayman overnight is likely to put some of Australia’s most senior rabbinical figures under scrutiny over their failures to act on complaints from victims.
