Alleged Borough Park Pedophile Attacked In Jerusalem
Avorhom Mondrowitz, dubbed the “Bin Ladin of Pedophiles,” was attacked and beaten on the streets of Jerusalem. According to a report by the Jerusalem Post, the incident was filmed and posted on YouTube.
Mondrowitz escaped from Borough Park in the mid 80s after being suspected of child molestation. A New York Post article from June of 2012 explained why Mondrowitz left the country:
Called the “Bin Laden of pedophiles” by one victim, the bogus rabbi and self-proclaimed psychologist fled the United States in 1984 just before cops broke into his Borough Park, Brooklyn, home with a search warrant. They found a cache of kiddie porn and lists of hundreds of names of local boys, most referred to Mondrowitz by Jewish families and child-service agencies for counseling and his yeshiva-style program….
But years later the NYPD finally caught up with Mondrowitz after getting anonymous complaints. He was indicted in 1985 on charges of sexual abuse and sodomy against four Italian-American boys, ages 11 to 16, who lived in the Brooklyn neighborhood.
Detectives also found many Orthodox Jewish boys who sobbed as they told of horrific sexual assaults by a man they trusted, but their families wouldn’t let them press charges. Community pressure to keep shameful allegations secret continues to shield child molesters today, advocates and law-enforcement authorities say.
“He got away with it,” said a spokesman for Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes.
On the run in Israel, the video above captures a confrontation between a person believed to be Mondrowitz, the cameraman and an unidentified assailant. The person recording the video, who has protected their anonymity by digitally altering their voice, is heard calling the suspected fugitive “rapist,” “molester,” and “monster.” The cameraman then declares that alleged fugitive “raped 100 children in New York.”
At that point, another man begins attacking the accused with his hat. A chase between the assailant and the man begins and it later shown that the man has fallen to the ground, presumably having been pushed or punched.
The cameraman, who was only identified as “Issac,” defended inciting violence against the man in question.
“It’s really upsetting to see this man living freely and openly in this community of Nahlaot, a tight-knit neighborhood – with children everywhere,” Isaac told the Jerusalem Post. “And apparently he goes to a synagogue, where people need to know who he is and what he’s done.”
Issac also expressed hope that the video would bring awareness to the community.
“His neighbors deserve to know the truth about this evil man – this pedophile – living in their midst,” Isaac said.
