Rabbi Yaakov Weiss: 60-days
A New York rabbi who confessed in January to “inappropriate physical contact” with two 13-year old boys has been sentenced to 60-days in the Albany County jail.
Rabbi Yaakov Weiss, 30, founder of the Chabad of Colonie and the Chabad Hebrew School, was handcuffed and led out by sheriff’s deputies to start his sentence.
“You have utterly failed to accept responsibility for your actions,” County Judge Stephen Herrick told Weiss, whose family and supporters sat in the courtroom. “You are not the victim here. The boys were the victims.”
