The child sex abuse crisis in ultra-Orthodox Judaism, like that in the Catholic Church, has produced its share of shocking headlines in recent years. In New York, and in the prominent Orthodox communities of Israel and London, allegations of child molestation and rape have been rampant.
The alleged abusers are schoolteachers, rabbis, fathers, uncles – figures of male authority. The victims, like those of Catholic priests, are mostly boys.

The comments at the original article are revealing. Posters seem anxious to point out this is not a "Jewish" problem. Can you imagine the same response to a priest story? Of course not. What is especially horrifying is the way the ultras EXPECT all jews to cover up and even condone what they do. These abused kids whose abuse starts at 8 days old are ripe for becoming dreadful adults. It really is a child rapist assembly line. Homo child rapists, fuck being PC
The demons walking-on-two-legs commit crimes like this, and NOTHING is reported in the mainstream-media; however, EVERY time a Catholic commits a similar crime, it is ALWAYS a headline-news story, for days.
It is beyond disgusting how controlled the media is, but what is worse, IS HOW THAT CONTROL OF THE MEDIA HAS BRAIN-WASHED THE MASSES INTO ASSUMING THAT CATHOLICS ARE THE ONES ALWAYS COMMITTING THESE CRIMES, WHILE IT IS "UNHEARD OF" IN THE jewish COMMUNITY!
