Religious Pedophiles...Not Just for Catholics Anymore!....

clipped from www.nytimes.com Sexual Abuse Complaints Subpoenaed Since last year, when Assemblyman Dov Hikind invited his radio show listeners to discuss an explosive topic — sexual abuse of children in the Orthodox Jewish community — he says he has collected more than 1,000 complaints and the names of 60 accused sexual predators. He has kept those stories under lock and key in his Brooklyn office, he says, because the people who said they were victims had sworn him to secrecy, fearful of becoming outcasts in a community where perceived troublemakers risk losing employment, housing and even marriage prospects. But a prominent lawyer representing a half dozen former yeshiva students who say in a civil lawsuit that they were sexually abused by a teacher in Borough Park, Brooklyn, had Mr. Hikind served with a subpoena this week, demanding that he surrender those files. Mr. Hikind has refused. “I will go to jail for 10 years first,” he said on Wednesday.

So now comes the story of years of sexual abuse being committed by rabbis in the most orthodox branch of Judaism, the Hasidim. And we further have an elected government official in the city of New York, who represents that community, refusing to release the names of the perpetrators. All in the name of respect for the religious beliefs of the community.

Sound familiar. This is the same load of crap the Catholic hierarchy has been peddling for fifty years to protect their child-molesting priests and brothers from exposure and prosecution.

Here's my advice to the Brooklyn DA's office. Throw the low life piece of shit Hikind into jail and let him rot there until he gives up the names.

Don't ya just love religion?
