James Patrick Jennings was found not guilty in 2010 after being tried on six charges of indecent assault on schoolboys in 2009 worked for more than ten years at the Sydney Yeshiva.

    Putrid absolutely.
    You’ve become a dumping ground for Catholic priests now have you?
    It wasn’t enough you were done over in the Holocaust.

    the good rabbi oam failed to mention that good old jimbo was charged with more counts in 2012 and his trial for those charges is sometime in 2013 ……

    rabbi feldman is correct in telling us that a not guilty verdict was found in the case below …. but thats a half thruth ……. my mama always told me that telling half truths usually lead to harsh truths…..

      He is telling is side of the story as far as the Yeshiva is involved. That no doubt is the end of it as far as he is concerned

    Jennings was found not guilty in 2010 in NSW,yes that is correct.
    He was subsequently arrested & charged in Victoria .
    In 2012 following a committal hearing he was ordered to stand trial for allegations in Victoria (separate from those in NSW).That trial is set for this year 2013.
    Any assertion that Jennings is cleared of allegations is misleading & disingenuous.

    Rabbi Eli Feldman was probably born in the 80s.
