Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for April 17, 2008.

Complaints of acts of sexual violence on the part of the head rabbi of Kiryat Bialik began 18 years ago.

But the charges never went anywhere in the legal system, and the only impact they had were on the personal and marital lives of the female complainants.
