Rabbi accused of abusing student
ALBANY (AP) — An Albanyarea rabbi is facing charges he sexually abused a 13-year-old boy.
Yaakov Weiss, 28, of Loudonville was arrested Monday and charged with two counts of third-degree sex abuse and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Weiss was the boy’s teacher at the Hebrew Academy of Albany.
Police said Weiss had sexual contact with the boy on at least three occasions.
Child Protective Services notified Albany police after receiving an anonymous call about the alleged abuse to their hot-line.
