Melbourne, Australia — A former headmistress was found guilty of sexually assaulting two girls at an ultra-orthodox Jewish school in Australia on Monday, 15 years after she escaped arrest by fleeing to Israel.
A jury found Malka Leifer guilty on 18 charges, including rape and indecent assault, but cleared her on nine other charges.
Leifer was the principal of the Adass Israel School in Melbourne when she was first accused in 2008 of sexually assaulting her female pupils.
