NEW YORK -- A Brooklyn rabbi is being accused of trying to lure an undercover detective posing as a 14-year-old girl to meet for sex.
The Brooklyn district attorney's office says Nathan David Rabinowich was arrested Wednesday after he showed up at a pre-arranged meeting in Queens.
He's being held pending arraignment on charges of attempted rape, attempted criminal sexual act and attempted endangering the welfare of a child. A telephone message left with his attorney was not immediately returned.
Authorities say the 59-year-old rabbi, who also operates a tour business, faces up to four years in prison if convicted.

Maybe he's delusional and thought he was a priest or a university coach.
By the way boys and girls, Rabbi's are usually encouraged to get married. There are no single Rabbi's,, unless his wife just died. This guy is a scumbag and I myself, am Jewish, but not that SECT of morons thank you. They also are never celebate. However, let it be known that this SECT of self proclaimed Orthodox Jews don't sleep with their wives, they have separate beds. He's just crazy beyond all belief is all. It has nothing to do with his religious beliefs.
Should be front page news - oh yes only they only show the Catholic Church when it is a worldwide epidemic with deviant men. (celibate, married, gay , straight)
The Jewish Press - in an article by a Rabbi regarding molestation of young girls, "it is like poking them in the eye".
The evilness of human nature never ceases to amaze me.
If what you're planning to do is illegal,immoral, or harmful to anyone,rest assured you will eventually get caught.
Try to get professional help before you fall off the edge.
Just think of the numerous "Dateline" episodes we have watched where they net dozens of "people" who if encountered on the street we wouldn't think twice about their morality. One TV show with all those results, now multiply their results by every city of every state in our country. THEY are all around us, they live among us, they go to our churches, they teach at our schools, they write traffic citations, deliver the mail, and shuttle our children to band practice.
This Rabbi was very fortunate he was nabbed during a police sting, because if he was nabbed by me, someone would be filing a missing persons report with the police, and 10 years later one of the networks would have a documentary about a Rabbi who just up an vanished.
"Bailiff! Whack his Schmeckel!"
I had to get up to go to the bathroom, I did miss anything important while I was gone ? is everyone still arguing on which religon has the most perverts ? I think that we already know the answer to that. If you look at the ages of the offending catholic priests and the organization that protects them by either moving them from parish to parish or by sending them to their own treatment center { yes they have one } the answer is obvious. Years ago it was not easy to be openly gay and to hide their sexual preference they went into the priesthood where no one would wonder why they didn't date women. Mothers would proudly say that their son was a priest knowing in her heart why. I have the same thoughts regarding nuns, after going to parochial school and having them for teachers it isn't much of a stretch. Priest's wear robes so no one can see their woody when the altar boy bends over.
