A New York man was charged with sexually abusing a woman on a flight from Israel to Newark, New Jersey.
Yoel Oberlander, 35, was charged Friday in federal court in Newark. U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph Dickson ordered Oberlander, a registered sex offender, detained after the indictment.
If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to two years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
According to the indictment, Oberlander touched the woman sitting next to him inappropriately during the course of the flight and without her consent several times. The woman’s mother was seated next to her daughter.
The incident took place on an El Al flight from Ben Gurion International Airport in the Tel Aviv area to Newark Liberty International Airport.
Oberlander was convicted in 2002 in New York for sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl, and in 2012, he was charged with trespassing at an upstate New York Jewish camp, although Prosecutors determined there was ‘no allegation of sexual abuse’ at the camp near South Fallsburg, in the Catskill Mountains.
They just cannot help themselves.
They feel they can do any thing and get away with it.
But, he must be an innocent sex offender, the poor guy! Is he not Jewish? THAT woman and her mother must have provoked him!
INNOCENT AND NON CASTRATED THANKS TO WESTERN COURTS!
