Former Jewish School Principal Malka Leifer Convicted of Sexual Abuse in Australia
TL;DR Summary
Malka Leifer, the former principal of a Jewish girls school in Australia, has been found guilty of sexually abusing two students, including rape, and acquitted of nine other charges. The legal battle she waged in Jerusalem courts since 2014 ended in 2021 when she boarded a flight toward Melbourne at Ben Gurion Airport, her ankles and wrists shackled. The news of Leifer’s extradition was welcomed in Australia by lawmakers and Jewish community leaders. Leifer will return to court April 26 for a sentencing hearing.
