Jerusalem Rabbi Sentenced to 18 Years for Sex Crimes Against Students
The Jerusalem District Court has sentenced Rabbi Moshe Yazdi, 63, to 18 years in prison for committing sex offenses against his students. The sentence also includes one year of probation. Yazdi was convicted in March on two counts of sexual offenses and two counts of financial offenses against his pupils.
In addition to the prison sentence, Yazdi was ordered to pay 150,000 shekels in compensation to each of the victims. The court's decision reflects the severity of the crimes committed against vulnerable individuals under his charge.
The sentencing marks the culmination of a legal process that began with the charges being brought against the rabbi. The court found sufficient evidence to convict him on multiple counts, leading to this significant prison term and financial penalty.
