Nassau County Rabbi Gary Lieberman accused of sex abuse

WEST HEMPSTEAD - Police say sex abuse charges have been filed against a rabbi from the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County.

Police say Gary Lieberman, of Far Rockaway, sexually abused a 10-year-old over a period of six months. According to police, the abuse allegedly happened at the HANC West Hempstead location between November 2009 and May of 2010.

Police say Lieberman told his victim that no one would believe the claims because he's a rabbi.

During the Friday morning arraignment, the prosecution said it has two supporting depositions against Lieberman.

News 12 Long Island has been told Lieberman was fired from the academy in August of 2010, but it's not clear why.

Police believe Lieberman may have worked in other schools.

Lieberman was released on $100,000 bail.

Investigators are asking any other possible victims to call them at 516-573-4022.
