Jacob Sabbagh: Jewish Child Molester
In 2016 Jacob Sabbagh - formerly a member of the NYPD and an observant Orthodox jew - was convicted of sexually molesting a jewish girl multiple times when she was between the ages of 10 and 13 and before he joined New York's finest. (1)
I quote the relevant portions of the New York Daily News' account of the proceedings against Sabbagh:
'Jacob Sabbagh, 33, was busted in December when the now 21-year-old woman came forward to report a family friend touched her inappropriately numerous times when she was between 10 and 13 years old.
“Her parents trusted him. He is a member of their religious community. No one would think a 23-year-old man had an interest in their 10-year-old girl,” said Assistant District Attorney Grace Brainard in her closing arguments in Brooklyn Supreme Court on Wednesday.
[...]
Sabbagh’s attorney John Arlia argued that the victim is “delusional,” and was “troubled” because, at the time, her parents were going through a divorce.
The jurors rejected those claims — thanks in large part to a 40-minute conversation the victim had with Sabbagh that she secretly taped.
“The past is in the past, you have to move on from this ... this should have never happened, it was a mistake,” Sabbagh said on the audio recording.' (2)
So Sabbagh admitted to the abuse in a secretly taped audio recording, which then scuppered his stereotypical defence of 'the victim is delusional'.
What is rather alarming however is that, as Frum Follies notes, Sabbagh in spite of the charges against him was allowed to go free on his own recognizance without bail. Despite being charged with a very serious crime. (3)
That is quite clearly insane and should never have happened.
It is one rule for the jewish community and another for everyone else: who knew?
