Perv rabbi convicted
An Orthodox rabbi repeatedly sexually abused his son’s 16-year-old classmate, a Brooklyn jury ruled yesterday.
The 10 women and two men deliberated less than half a day before finding Rabbi Baruch Lebovits, 58, guilty on eight counts of sexual abuse. They acquitted him on two counts. “Justice was served,” said the father of the boy, whose name is being withheld by The Post.
His son testified that the rabbi lured him into his car by offering to let him drive, then unzipped his fly and performed oral sex on him.
Justice Patricia DiMango ordered that he be remanded pending sentencing, at which time he could get up to 32 years behind bars.
