Denmark - Dutch police are asking for help from Israeli
officials in investigating the case of a former teacher who is accused of
molesting students at an Orthodox Jewish school, and who fled to Israel before
police could arrest him.
TELEGRAAF.ni (http://bit.ly/14n4TUk) reports that the
fugitive, identified only as Ephraim S., was fired from his teaching position
at the Cheider school in Buitenveldert for “inappropriate conduct” after a
number of complaints were filed with police.
Rabbi Binyomin Jacobs, chief interprovincial rabbi of
Holland and a board member for the school, said the school was extra-careful in
adhering to all laws regarding such cases.
Rabbi Jacobs, who spoke to JTA, said that from the outset
the school “consulted the lawbook” and did “everything in accordance” so
nothing was “swept under the carpet.”
Upon the filing of the complaints, and before an arrest
warrant could be issued, Ephraim S. immediately fled for Israel, where sources
say he currently continues to teach privately.
