SYDNEY, Australia (JTA) – An Australian-born man who resides in the United States was charged with two counts of indecent assault against two children at a Sydney Chabad center in the 1980s.
Daniel (Gug) Hayman, who now lives in Los Angeles, was back in Sydney for the funeral of his mother last week. The 49-year-old was arrested Monday for allegedly assaulting two boys, then aged 14 and 16, between 1985 and 1986. He is alleged to have preyed upon them while he was a volunteer for a Chabad-run camp.
Hayman, the first alleged child sex offender to be arrested from the Sydney Jewish community,
appeared in court Monday but the case was adjourned until Nov. 20. He was refused bail, according to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Although Hayman was involved in the Yeshiva Center, the headquarters of Chabad in Sydney, he was never an employee, according to a Chabad spokesman.
