SO SAD TO READ ALL THESE JOKES AND BAD MOUTHING ... HE IS NOT THE WORST RABBI AND I ALSO STAND BY HIM. I KNOWN HIM FOR A FEW YEARS AND KNOW HE WOULDNT AND HAS NOT DONE THESE ACTIONS. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE COURT AND TO SEE THE CASE. IF HE'S GUILTY HE WILL GET WHAT HE DESERVES BUT IF HE NOT THEN ALL THESE JOKES AND BAD COMMENTS WERE IN VAIN. MAYBE YOU SHOULD PRAY FOR HIM AND THE VICTIM BEFORE WRITING ALL THIS TRASH WITHOUT KNOWING THE VICTIM OR THE ACCUSED. HE IS MY RABBI AND WILL ALWAYS CONTINUE TO BE MY TEACHER. EVEN IN THESE HARDS TIMES HE MORE CONCERN ABOUT US THAN HIMSELF. ANY OTHER COMMENTS AFTER ME PLEASE REMEMBER THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE AFFECTED. HIS FAMILY AND PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO SEE HIM AS A FATHER. MAY G-D GRANT YOU STRENGTH AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!

azjew you are a fool. he lied in Chandler Court under oath. He is the worst Rabbi ever at your Shul. You ought to be more concerned for the alleged victim and the lying sociopaths family. If he is convicted and the ADA in Manhattan has a strong case, I hope he gets raped in prison He was arraigned yesterday

Rabbi Bramley is my rabbi and I will stand behind him 100% until I know to do differently. He came to our synagogue 3 1/2 years ago and has done wonders for it...I am proud to call him my rabbi and a good friend. He has been there for my family several different times and has always been happy to do anything to help any member of our congregation. All of you who are bad mouthing him obviously dont know him. Isnt it INNOCENT until proven guilty. I hope this case goes by quickly and that rabbi Bramley can rejoin our congregation.

Bramly? Either someone got very creative at Ellis Island or this guy's a goy posing as a Jew.

Should be Rabbi/Rapist.

The slash is used as a replacement for 'and' in joining two nouns, generally implying that the two words are of equal importance, but are still separate nouns. The hyphen suggests a compound noun.

Does Gothamist use a syle guide?

Just putting this out there -- this guy's life has basically been ruined based on nothing more than an accusation on something that happened 10 years ago.

Give the guy a little due process.

+1 would it be so wrong to not announce peoples name to the public until they are convicted? this is how it works in most other countries.

"would it be so wrong to not announce peoples name to the public until they are convicted?"

Yeah, the police shouldn't be required to reveal the names of people who are arrested. And newspapers shouldn't allowed to report on those arrests either. That's the way it is some other countries, after all.

I have to agree with you there. I am vexed as to how proof can be obtained at this point. The only way I feel he could be found guilty is if he confesses. But why confess if there's no damning evidence?

I'm already cancelling all sleepovers for my kid from now to 2018. If this guy can get arrested for this then any parent who has ever let someone else's kid stay over their house can be arrested too, at any time for the rest of their lives.

another animal deceitfully posing as a smiling, gentle, respectful member of society.. it's just story after story with these scumbags

Hi Jewport. I have no idea if this guy's guilty or not and I couldn't care less what his religion is. I just know that he's been arrested based solely on the childhood memories of one seven-year-old who didn't say anything to anyone for ten years. And that means any man is vulnerable to any person who wants to claim molestation ever. Even you.

Hey, let's hang out this weekend. I'll call you.

"I just know that he's been arrested based solely on the childhood memories"

Do you know that? I have no idea whether there's any other kind of evidence, whether he made any kind of statement that implicated him, whether there are any other people implicating him.

I haven't tried to find out, because this is the first I've read of this case. So I don't know. Where did you find this information?

I don't get the Jewish Defender remark at all.

I was wondering when the paranoid jewish defenders would show up.

boo boo boo.. here's a tissue, wipe those tears.

Ha, I thought from the headline it was a rapist who raped rabbis.

The "Torah Borah" stikes again!

Now THAT would be interesting (not to mention great comedy).

Me too! Shouldn't it be Rapist-Rabbi?

Years ago, some uppity Jewish inlaws had once bragged to me that the reason why Jews don't have pedo sex scandals the way "gentiles" do is because Jewish rabbis are allowed to marry and have families and not live a celibate life.

Happy to see that bigoted myth blow up right in their face.

Glad this latest pedo scumbag was finally caught.
