Trial of accused Williamsburg rapist Nechemya Weberman begins
The trial of accused Williamsburg rapist Nechemya Weberman began Monday, reports the Failed Messiah blog.
Weberman allegedly raped and sexually abused a young Hasidic girl for years. While more than 1,000 Weberman supporters attended a fundraiser for him and “demonized” the alleged victim, on Monday advocates and friends outnumbered haters in court.
Since coming forward last year, the woman, now 18, and her husband have allegedly been the target of a massive intimidation effort, reports the New York Daily News.
