Stanley Z. Levitt, 63, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and a former rabbi at Maimonides School in Brookline, Massachusetts has been indicted by a grand jury on child sexual assault charges dating back to the 1970s.
Levitt was indicted on four counts of indecent assault and battery on a person under 14 for allegedly assaulting two then 11-year-old male students in 1975.
According to report by WCVB TV:
One charge stems from a May 1975 incident in which Levitt allegedly visited a Maimonides student who was recuperating at Children’s Hospital in Boston after an accident.
The other three offenses were allegedly committed against a different male student during a three-night visit to Levitt’s Chiswick Road home, also believed to have taken place in 1975.
Levitt came to the attention of authorities when one of the alleged victims contacted Boston police about a year ago, saying Levitt visited him at Children’s Hospital in Boston in May 1975, and that Levitt sexually assaulted him at the hospital.
According to Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley, when Levitt left Massachusetts and moved to Pennsylvania in 1980 the statute of limitations clock stopped, leaving Levitt open to being charged over 30 years later.
Levitt is scheduled for arraignment in Suffolk Superior Court on October 17th.
