Avrohom Mondrowitz, New York’s Most Notorious Child Molester, 'got away with it' after fleeing to Israel

EVIL ON THE LOOSE: Avrohom Mondrowitz strolls in Jerusalem last month, scot-free after fleeing the United States in 1984 ahead of multiple child-molestation charges. Israel says he’s protected from extradition.

Here is Avrohom Mondrowitz, New York’s most notorious child molester — living scot-free in Israel.

Called the “Bin Laden of pedophiles” by one victim, the bogus rabbi and self-proclaimed psychologist fled the United States in 1984 just before cops broke into his Borough Park, Brooklyn, home with a search warrant.

They found a cache of kiddie porn and lists of hundreds of names of local boys, most referred to Mondrowitz by Jewish families and child-service agencies for counseling and his yeshiva-style program.

“He was known in the insular community as the go-to therapist, child mentor,” said an outspoken victim, Mark Weiss, whose parents sent him to Mondrowitz at age 13. “He had a certain knack with kids.”

Weiss says Mondrowitz treated him to restaurants and amusement parks, then took him into bed during a week’s stay in his home. When Weiss, at age 18, finally told his parents and a rabbi about the sexual abuse, “They let it die. Any such story was quashed and buried.”

But years later the NYPD finally caught up with Mondrowitz after getting anonymous complaints. He was indicted in 1985 on charges of sexual abuse and sodomy against four Italian-American boys, ages 11 to 16, who lived in the Brooklyn neighborhood.

Detectives also found many Orthodox Jewish boys who sobbed as they told of horrific sexual assaults by a man they trusted, but their families wouldn’t let them press charges. Community pressure to keep shameful allegations secret continues to shield child molesters today, advocates and law-enforcement authorities say.

“He got away with it,” said a spokesman for Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes.

The Post last week spotted Mondrowitz, 64, cloaked in religious garb, in Nachlaot, a hip, Greenwich Village-type neighborhood in central Jerusalem near his apartment on Yizreel Street. He wears a façade of piety and respectability, even leading prayer services at a local synagogue. But documents show he has indulged his penchant for child porn and continued to seek contact with troubled kids.

Multiple e-mails copied from his computer and turned over to the FBI show that Mondrowitz trolled child-porn Web sites, buying access to titles such as ErectXboys, SchoolBoys, Boy Heaven and Boys Lagoon.

The United States sought his extradition from Israel in 1985. but the treaty between the countries did not cover his alleged crimes. In 1993, Hynes’ office dropped the deportation effort. In 2007, the treaty was changed, and Mondrowitz became extraditable. A search of his home in Israel found four child-porn films. He was arrested and jailed.

But in 2010, Israel’s Supreme Court ruled Mondrowitz was grandfathered and exempt from the revised treaty. He was freed for good.

“It’s a failure of an entire society that is paralyzed to take action,” said Weiss, now 45 and a married father of three.

  4. What a pious man, he truly looks like a Tzaddik.
    AHA! Would you like to buy the brooklyn bridge?
    He is a filthy pig hiding under his Talis and Teffilin what a disgrace. Maybe Rabbi Tzweibel wants to hire as a baby sitter for his children, the Agudah will fund the effort to protect a "Rabbi"
    GO HYNES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. A disgrace. Is there no bet din to step up? Does he currently have access to children? If so, we are all partly responsible for the outcome.

  6. He's on his way to America to work with Rabbi Tzwiebel and the Agudah. All sex abuse cases will be reported to "Rabbi" Mondrowitz, he has been chosen as the Agudath Israel of America SEX Specialist.
    Whatever you do don't tell the Police. This Maniac will do a great job of molesting more innocent children protected by the "Gedolim"

  7. Rabbi Tzweibel said that Mondrowitz would be the Agudas official instructor in the new Sex Education unit. He will be incharge of taking care of all the little children at the Agudah conventions.
    Tzweibel also said if you disagree with this, you should talk to your local untrained Rabbi.
    Don't go the Police, seems like the Agudah endorses child rape and abuse.
