Rabbinic Abuse Allegations In Orthodox Union Case
An investigation into Rabbi Baruch Lanner, once a leader in the Orthodox Union youth group, found he sexually abused women and girls and physically abused boys and girls. The report notes that some union staff failed to respond to red flags, with no cover-up alleged but criticism of Lanner’s behavior and calls for his firing. Prosecutors in New Jersey are reviewing the matter.
