Ed note–ugly as such a statement may seem, nevertheless the truth of the matter is that this ‘code of silence’ is not something relegated merely to sexual abuse, but to all criminal activity taking within the Jewish community, which is why great care and skepticism must be applied whenever someone from within ‘la famiglia’ comes forth and renders any kind of commentary that appears (and we stress that word APPEARS) to be critical of Judaic excesses.

Oftentimes, as in the case of Neturei Karta and other ‘good’ Jews and ‘good’ Jewish groups who claim to be ‘anti-Zionist’ and who make the pretenses of speaking up for Palestinians and others whose lives have been run through the meat grinder, it is a tactic meant to stymie and stall an otherwise unavoidable discussion of the facts so as to prevent them from achieving ‘full disclosure’.

A Melbourne attorney who said “Jewish people should not assist police investigating another Jewish person” has been banned from practice for 15 months for rebuking a victim of child sexual abuse who cooperated with police.

Alex Lewenberg made the comments twice in 2011 while representing a now-convicted child sex abuser, David Cyprys, who is serving a prison sentence after being found guilty of raping one boy and molesting eight others while employed at the Melbourne Yeshivah Centre and College.

Lewenberg made the comment in court for a bail hearing and in a telephone conversation with an abuse victim who was secretly recorded.

The judgment delivered Tuesday by Judge Pamela Jenkins at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal contained the contents of a written apology from Lewenberg to the victim known only as AVB, in which Lewenberg wrote: “I apologize to you for what I said and I deeply regret the real hurt and harm those words have caused you.”

Lewenberg was also ordered to pay court costs of more than $55,000 to the Legal Services commissioner who prosecuted the case.

In imposing the ban on practicing law, Jenkins noted it was the fifth time Lewenberg had faced disciplinary action and said the apology “fell short of any expression of genuine remorse.” She also ordered Lewenberg to complete a legal education course in ethics and professional responsibility.

In her judgment, Jenkins said Lewenberg had spoken to the victim’s foster parent “expressing his disappointment” in the victim’s conduct.

The ban becomes effective on June 1.

One thought on “Australian Jewish lawyer suspended from practice for rebuking child sex abuse victim”
  1. He is so very typical of Jewish lawyers who involve themselves in this filth. They prey on their clients too, given the opportunity, as I can attest from personal experience. You can bet, even if he cannot practice law for a period, his tribe will keep him busy and on his feet one way or another.

    Or he can write a book about antisemitism in the Australian Jewdicial system.
