  • The suspect allegedly rubbed a third victim’s groin through his pants with one hand while masturbating with the other while the pair was in the suspect’s car on the way to school, officials said. 

  • The victims were all 12- to 14-year-olds. “There’s a fourth possible victim out there that they haven’t spoken to yet,” a source said. Sources said the school leader was arrested and was being questioned at the 79th Precinct in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Charges were pending. He worked at Ohr Hameir, a school for Satmar teens. Officials said the encounters took place between March of last year and last week. The private Borough school has been closed since the end of last year because of a financial dispute.

This is a really sad....and very tough....issue. I'm not sure whether or not I agree with our legalities regarding such or similar.

I DO believe that when true pedophilia is involved, the root problem is an addiction, not a crime, and should be treated as such. It's an extremely difficult addiction to treat and to deal with. From the article, I can't tell in which situation this particular man might be involved.

In any case, I do have a lot of compassion for him, as I can only imagine the humiliation and regret he is now experiencing.
