Loudonville rabbi arrested for sexually abusing a child

Comments 0 | Recommend 0

A local rabbi is facing several charges after being arrested for having inappropriate sexual contact with a 13 year-old boy.

Yaakov Weiss, 28, of Loudonville was arrested Monday after detectives revealed he sexually abused the teen from November of 2007 to April of 2008.  Weiss is alleged to have had sexual contact with the victim at a location on Whitehall Road at least once and on New Scotland Avenue on at least two occasions.

Albany Public Safety spokesman Det. James Miller says their investigation began after Child Protective Services had received an anonymous tip about the abuse. 

Weiss was charged with one count of sexual abuse in the 2nd degree, two counts of sexual abuse in third and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He was arraigned Monday in Albany City Court.

Detectives are continuing to investigate to determine if there are any other victims.
