Bubba must be getting awfully tired, what with all the people you wish to send to him.

Don't worry, Denver. I'm sure he can squeeze you in...lol

He got what he deserved. If only the same could be said for all the priests who abuse children.

Why does a Jewish guy get a century behind bars, yet a Catholic Priest gets a transfer of church

Sorry to burst your bubble, but he is not going to meet up with 'bubba'. He will be in a segragated area, possibly in solitary, and, considering his age, likely in a different prison.

Don't even try it Cory1980. A Jewish criminal isn't treated any different or are they . . . ? Yosef Lifsh

“Nechemya Weberman ...... was sentenced Tuesday to 103 years in prison, for molesting a girl”

That’s what I call justice! Amen.

Perhaps he'll be killed by a left handed swordsman. (That was for Inigo)

That’s what I call justice! Amen. -- wtw of KC

And when you are accused by some woman, and are convicted, we will know that justice has been served, even though you may be innocent. Have a nice day.

. And in the mean time we pay for his kosher meals

A small price to pay, indeed. Would happily devote a share of my taxes for it, and for nice meat-free meals during Lenten Fridays for all of the perverted priests as well. Here's to locking more of them up!

ANYONE....regardless of religious sect, deserves death for molesting a child. There is no excuse. Nothing is more vile.

cory1980 Excellent observation! Couldn't have said it better myself...but I'd sure like to know the answer to that question. I'm sure it has something to do with payoffs....

I agree with Lisa from Wayand, death to the sick bastard! Why waist our tax dollars on this peice of crap to provide food and shelter, take him to the electric chair or strap him down for lethal injection and allow the victims family to pull the switch. And while we are at it, line everyone on death row up and lets start the line moving!! It just pisses me off everytime I hear about someone being sentenced to multiple live sentences, billions of tax payers money every year wasted on supporting people like this!

to cory1980:

That is because the Catholic church is paying millions of dollars to the victims, and the cases are reported after 20 or 30 years happened. Do you really believe the Jewish church would pay a cent for any of their priest?????

Sometimes the most moral and the most socially religious and judgmental amongst us, will often hide the greatest sexual perversions practiced in their most private lives. So they end up surrendering in private, to what their subculture or religion defines as their, "forbidden fruits," that has become so incredibly irresistible for some of them to secretly indulge in. It's as if they're overcompensating for a life of choosing to be openly intolerant of any and all gray that normally exists in between the black and the white decisions in our complex lives with others. And they may be overcompensating for doing without any expression of normal human desires in the public eye, as they see such behavior or activities as being, "beneath" them. They are not allowed any, "relief valves," in the chosen path of their strictly-defined lives, so this is sometimes the pitiful result.

Upon discovery of these perversions of course, it paints them into the greatest of moralizing hypocrites that demand the greatest of punishments -- especially from their own religious peers -- and the LOUDEST calls for their punishment may be coming from those that are secretly guilty of privately engaging in sexual crimes, themselves.

Are these orthodox preachers and followers nothing but perverts, sexually molesting their children--both boys and girls? Check out what these religious freaks do to their boys with impunity:

Supposedly in the name of their twisted religion!

Is being married by the age of 18 normal for this religion?

It never mentioned the age of the husband.

They felt it important to point out that she is married though.

shocked...totally shocked...a PRIEST abusing young ones...speechless....

ya see? liberal judges are all that bad,. lol

Mike, they set up marriages when the kids are first born. pre arranged.

It's always the ones who claim to be ultra-religious, no matter the sect (Christian, Jew, etc.) to which they belong, that are the biggest liars, hypocrites, etc.

NYMike

It is normal for people in the orthodox Jewish faith to marry earlier than usual.

george pauljohn

They do not set up marriages when the children are born. In all fairness, they do have matchmakers that set people up on dates but the person they marry is still their choice. They are not pre arranged...you may be thinking of the Muslim faith.

GIL-2076580

You are an idiot. What makes the Jewish faith any more or less twisted than any other religion? That article is explaining a practice that is no longer used. Additionally, you are taking it out of context. Way back when before we had any knowledge of sterile procedures, that was what was considered to be the most sterile way of doing it. No more, no less should be read into that. Its people with a mind like yours that make it perverse.

My person opinion on this guy is that he should rot in he!!. Not because he is of one faith or the other but because he is a disgusting, scum bag of a person (if he can be called that).

GIL-2076580

I would like to add that first, the Jewish faith does not have "preachers". They have Rabbis which directly translated means "teacher". Second, at no point in time does this article mention that this is a Rabbi or "Preacher". Just an ultra orthodox, unlicensed therapist.

That article is explaining a practice that is no longer used.

It IS still used. Several babies have contracted herpes and some have even died from it recently b/c it IS still in practice. In fact, it's been in the news a lot lately, b/c NY wants parents to sign a consent form attesting to the fact that they understand the health risks to the babies; rabbis are fighting it.

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/article.php?p=132298

Suspect there are other victims, when men like this are in a isolated community they feel safe because the community protects them. I have read how this Orthodox community pressured the family to drop the charges and its amazing that this case ever saw court with all they did to the victim and family.

From what I'm hearing, there are other female victims coming forward with similar stories about Weberman.

Did the article say he was a rabbi??? Don't think so. A counselor is not a clergy person.

That don't change the sins, in the tv and news I remember see two rabbis arrested in sting operation for date a young girs for sex purposes, be predators is part of the human ben

Ed Burke et al ~~~~~~~~Of course, it is terrible when the clergy, of any religion, sexually abuse children. Such abuse should always be dealt with by the courts no matter who the abuser. However, many studies have shown that the clergy, statistically, abuse fewer children than family, family-friends, neighbors, sports figures, scouts and educators.

@jwbooth666

There you go genius, you got your star. Your welcome, hehehe

Jwbooth666, you owe me a new keyboard! I just spit my Diet Pepsi all over it! LOL!

The man was not a cleric.

don't mean NOTHING, still gulity !

He wasn't a licensed counselor, but he called himself one. He wasn't an ordained Rabbi, but he called himself one. He's a fraud, through and through.

Send him to Israel.

Put a bullet in his head and send him to hell

?

What would have been appropriate in your mind? For raping a child?

For raping a child, 103 years is not enough. If he is innocent of the charge, then it is 103 years too much. God help us all...

I noticed Michael hasn't answered. How long, Michael? The time is meant to keep children safe. Rapists shouldn't be free but instead, incarcerated. Because if they are free they rape children. Understand?

If he is "innocent" of the charge, then one minute is too much! However, remember that he was found guilty 'beyond reasonable doubt' and now the burden of proof is on his defense to show why the verdict is incorrect.

Putting every "bad guy" away forever isn't a realistic approach to punishment. If there were more complaints that would be different. At his age he may be dead in 20 years anyway

"At his age he may be dead in 20 years anyway"

Lets hope so...

20 years maybe, but a rope around his neck or a bullet in the head would be a max of 20 seconds. We need to save our tax dollars on more important things than a child molester

I may be wrong, but I understand that someone is eligible for parole after that person has served the minimum amount of time, whatever that is. Perhaps he has been sentenced such a long time to make sure his 'minimum' is a really long time.

Vicmik, dont think being Jewish has anything to do with this but I do think the isolationism of this community did have something to do with it. When this community put so much pressure on one of their members to drop the case I have to suspect other crimes have occurred and the perps escape justice because of that.

This case might have gotten their attention and notified them that there is actually a government that has laws about such things......and that government isn't turning a blind eye to these sorts of things any longer.

I'm from NY and I can absolutely believe that the family of the girl were ostracized and harassed terribly. The question to me is, why would this man have the support of the community even after the trial? Their behavior about this might be worth watching.

A sure bet would be that the movers and shakers from the Jewish Community had ALL the stops pulled out to avoid this. The Judge made a clear statement, I think.

Exactly, nightwalker. Insular groups like the Hassidim are even more likely to keep this sort of thing "within the community". So are Jehovah's Witnesses, Pentecostal and some Baptist sects, even Amish and Mennonites. It's hardly just a Catholic problem, and when it occurs in less-mainstream groups there is apparently even more group pressure to be made to "go away", and there is just as much pressure from many to blame the victim.

Did anyone else notice that there was a comment from this 18 yr. old girl's husband? Wonder how much group pressure she was under, particularly being perceived as "damaged goods", to enter into a marriage?

All Jews? Or just pedophiles?

Am I the only person with "The Inquisition" song from History of The World, Part 1 stuck in my head?

@Bone Daddy

Not everyone believes that Jesus is the only way to God; you should not be the one who decides who God will forgive if they are repentent. God of the Old Testament is the same God of the New Testament, and the New Testament. Remember Jesus said, Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do",showing that Jesus still viewed God as the ultimate authority.

forever is not long enough.

Bone Dead! Nope! True repentence would rescue him from Hell, but he would still have to pay, one way or the other, for his sins and God knows what's trully in his heart. Also, a specific acceptance of Jesus bar Joseph is not necessarily neccessary. What if he never heard of Jesus, would you have your god to condemn him to everlasting hellfire when he didn't do anything to deserve it or repented, trully.

I wasn't all of that much older, either, but that was so long ago in my case that it was practically a different world. I would wonder how much the typical age at marriage in the Hassidic community varies from that of society as a whole in recent years. In most stridently religious groups it seems to be younger than for the general population.

It is customary for the Hasidim girls to marry young. Not necessarily to young men, either... Hasidim believe the only reason for sex is reproduction. That is why they marry when they are young and healthy. It is a strain on them to be nearly constantly pregnant.

The article indicated that the abuse occured from age 12-15. She is now 18 and married. No where does it say that she was sent to the therapist because she was unhappy with her marriage partner, or that she even knew him when this was occuring. The article stated that she was having problems with her faith...That could mean anything from questioning her belief in God, to the practices that their interpretation of God dictates.

The Brooklyn Hassidic girls marry as young as 17, but the average is 18-21 years old. However; it is true that marriages are most often arranged and often the girl does not meet the groom to be until right before marrying.

Thank you, my thoughts exactly.

We do hear about them - as we should. This story is not about Catholic priest pedophiles, it is about one man, a Hasidic Jew, who was tried for abusing one woman (girl actually). If he is guilty, then he totally deserves the 103 year sentence. If you want to read about Catholic priest pedophiles, just google it and you will get your fill and more, I promise.

The problem with many of the cases involving Catholic priests is that the allegations are made years or decades after the abuse occurred. Often the statute of limitations has run on these cases and so criminal charges cannot be made. In other cases, the big lapse in time between the abuse and the accusations means that little if any evidence of the crime exists. If the only thing the prosecutor has is the word of the victim versus the word of the alledged perpetrator, filing criminal charges may not be possible. That is why many of the cases are civil suits versus criminal cases.

PJB.....IF he's guilty?

I thought they already had a trial and convicted him. He was just sentenced for the crimes he was found guilty of.

The difference is that this case actually made it to court. The cases within the Catholic Church where the perp is quietly secreted away to another location and is hushed up, never see the inside of a court room.

Many times these cases do not come to light until many years have passed. The trail goes cold, and prosecution is less likely.

This is not true now. Before it was kept hush-hush by victims/families because of the belief that a priest was in an exalted position. Now that this has all come out into the public, victims are not as afraid to report abuse, and it no longer is taken care of by the church. The law does not care if the perpetrators are priests or not. May I remind you that families also can be hesitant in reporting the abuse because in a twisted way, the victim still carries the shame of the crime (fathers who are mortified that their sons were involved in a homosexual relationship even though it is not their fault. I was raped at a young age and never told my parents because I was somewhere where I didn't have permission to be, and my friends did not believe me when I said that I fought this pig, because they had already willingly had sex with him.

There has been a LOT in the news and on the internet in the last decade or so about the defrocking and jailing of Catholic Priests for child abuse. I cannot believe ANYONE out there is unaware of that.

Not really, they don't punish this alligator WE ARE in USA, also no is the first jew be caugth, in their religion be a pedophil is OK especialy if the victim is from other ehtnia (gentiles) boy or girls dosn't matter...

Good Gosh, baco78...would you PLEASE STOP POSTING until you've taken at least a remedial English class. For crying out loud, LEARN TO SPELL and to compose a sentence. That is just painful to read your incomprehensible posts. Get educated!

Baco78.

Please take a literacy class. Then take a typing class.

THEN, learn the difference between TRUTH and UNTHRUTH.

It took a lot of effort to figure out what you were trying to say, just to find out that it held not ONE word of truth! It was all just hatemongering garbage!

Get back under you rock....

Yeah, and teachers, cops, truck drivers, atheists, athletes, Democrats, Republicans, men women and undecided. All of those groups have pedophiles hiding among them.

Pedophiles gravitate anywhere they can get easy access to children. That includes boy scouts, sleep away camps, youth sports coaches etc. And once again, the man in this article wasn't in a religious position, he was a counselor. Does anybody bother to read these articles anymore?

He called himself a counselor, but had no license. He called himself a rabbi, but wasn't ordained:

Mr. Weberman testified that he came to be known by many in the community as "rebbe" or rabbi and acknowledged and his letterhead says "Rabbinical Counseling" though he is not ordained as a rabbi or licensed as a counselor.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323501404578161793832096444.html

All he was, in the end, was a driver who took advantage of people, of charity, and of young girls.

Did you read the story earlier today about the English woman sentenced to die by an Indonisian court, for drug smuggling? She smuggled 8 pounds of cocain into Indonesia and claimed that the people who wanted her to smuggle it threatened to kill her kids if she did not do it. What can I say? Who do we believe? I'm just glad that I am not the judge of these people, because I would never be able to sleep at night regardless of their guilt or innocence, because I would certainly not know either way.

Ahhh, they truly deserve the life sentences....there is no doubt about it. Those ba.....s can not come up with a reason why they should be considered "not guilty".

I'm not saying that it's likely, but what if she claims five years from now that he did not do anything inappropriate? That she was just trying to cover herself for some stupid juvenile misdeeds? It has happened, here, in the good old USA. What then?

He admitted to having THREE DEADBOLTS to the room he did his "counseling" in. It was not an entrance to his apartment; it was an inner room. He admitted to having three teenaged girls living in his office, and spending charity money to buy sexy women's lingerie. There are more females coming forward with allegations, too. The first victim isn't likely to be lying. He's a classic predator.

Most wars fought have had nothing to do with religion.
