Meir Dascalowitz gets five years for raping a young boy


An Orthodox Jewish man who pleaded guilty to raping a young Brooklyn boy in a ritual bath was sentenced to five years behind bars today, as his victim’s mom called him a “monster of an animal.”

Meir Dascalowitz, 29, pleaded guilty to sexual abuse in Brooklyn Supreme Court last month for forcing himself on his mentally-disabled victim.

“We cried a lot and had and still have endless sleepless nights,” the victim’s mother said in court before Dascalowitz was sentenced. “What this monster of an animal did to a precious diamond is unforgivable.”

Assistant district attorney Kevin O’Donnell, who also prosecuted convicted sex abuser Nechemya Weberman, read aloud a statement from Dascalowitz’s victim.

“He did a terrible crime,” the victim said in the statement. “I have been hurt and the hurt will continue throughout my life … I hope you will never the opportunity to hurt any child again.”

Dascalowitz had faced 32 counts of felony and misdemeanor sex abuse but pleaded guilty to just one count of sexual abuse in the second degree.

Mordechai Jungreis, the victim’s father, has said his family was exiled from his Orthodox community for reporting the abuse to outside authorities.
