A former student has settled a legal claim against Adass Israel School, the former employer of convicted rapist, over new allegations of abuse connected to the ultra-Orthodox inner-Melbourne religious college.
The settlement comes amid allegations that demonstrations were being planned by members of the ultra-Orthodox community unhappy with the new lawsuit. Screenshots seen by this masthead called on the community to come together and rally outside the woman’s house.
The jury found Leifer guilty of 18 rape and sexual assault charges and not guilty of nine. Leifer has always maintained her innocence.The former principal’s prosecution became an international scandal when she was rushed out of the country in the middle of the night in March 2008, after allegations of her sexual abuse against students began to mount. She would not return to Victoria to face justice for more than 10 years.
Questions have persisted in the past 15 years over the circumstances of Leifer’s quick escape to Israel when accusations of sexual abuse began to mount.
