Israeli court denies bail to Melbourne ex-principal accused of sexually abusing students

 

[Bohemian]

‘After a six-year legal battle, the Melbourne sisters who were allegedly abused by their former principal say it is "surreal" to know an Israeli court has ruled Malka Leifer is fit to be extradited to Australia.

Key points:

• Ms Leifer's accusers said they couldn't breathe after hearing the court's decision
• Dassi Erlich, Nicole Meyer and Elly Sapper have been campaigning for the former headmistress to return to Australia to face child sex abuse charges
• The legal process is expected to continue for some months yet

On Tuesday (local time), the Jerusalem District Court ruled Ms Leifer was mentally fit to be extradited to Australia where she faces 74 charges of child sexual abuse.

The court further ruled that Ms Leifer had been feigning her mental incompetence for the purposes of evading extradition to Australia.’

Oh I'd have wanted her extradited with Bibi Netenyahu watching her every move.

Then again Bibi up and left his own corruption trial today.

How many young girls heads did this wench mess up? Maybe Israel will pay for their therapy? What a *****!

I have watched this case over the years with some interest. My mother taught at that school in the 70s. I didn't know there was a thread until tonight. So many twists and turns to get to this point. Those poor girls, may justice be served!
