The more details I hear, the more horrific and disgusting this case becomes. I am curious to find out if the good rabbi used scripture (perhaps the story of Lot and his seductress daughters) and/or his "authority" as a man-of-Yahweh to justify/excuse/forgive his actions. The Daily News appears to be following this story very closely so I hope we get to hear his side of things. So far, it's both fascinating and offensive how Weingarten continues to present himself in court as some self-righteous and pious man. I wonder if he's serious or this is just some charade for an insanity plea.
From today's New York Daily News:
The ex-wife of a rabbi accused of molesting his daughter testified Thursday that she found them together in bed, and the teen revealed that she had been sexually abused.
Before she began answering the prosecutor's questions, Faige Weingarten waived her spousal privilege and told the judge she wanted to testify against her ex-husband, Israel Weingarten, who prosecutors say began abusing the girl in 1990 when she was 9. (read the full story)
