Gary Lieberman
Police have arrested a rabbi accused of molesting a 10-year-old boy at a Hebrew school on Long Island over a six-month period nearly four years ago.
Nassau County police say 56-year-old Gary Lieberman
assaulted the 10-year-old boy several times between November 2009 and May 2010
at the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County in West Hempstead, where he was a
teacher.
Lieberman allegedly assaulted the boy while he was alone in
a second-floor learning resource room and in a school bathroom. Lieberman also
allegedly told the boy that because he was a rabbi, no one would believe him if
he told anyone about the abuses.
Lieberman stopped working at the school in August 2010, but
has worked at other private religious schools since then, police say. The
Hebrew Academy learned about the abuse this year, and Nassau County police
arrested the man on Thursday.
Lieberman is charged with two counts of first-degree sexual
abuse and will be arraigned Friday. It's not known if he has an attorney.
They're asking any other possible victims to notify the
Nassau County Police Special Victims Squad at 516-573-4022.
