you can run but you cant hide

Mazel tov!

The news is reporting that Malka Leifer, the school principal that was accused of abusing some of her students, has been convicted of 18 charges of sexual abuse (and has been acquitted of 9 other charges) and has now been sentenced to 15 years in jail.

Normally I would say it is sad, and maybe it still is, even though necessary, but Leifer was really a monster, hiding behind fabricated medical issues, using political connections and big money to hide out, repeatedly delay and postpone hearings, and avoid facing charges. 

Good riddance!

It isnt easy to get convictions for abuse, especially when the victims were kids, and even more so when facing a powerful abuser with strong connections and big money. The Ehrlich sisters did a fabulous job working through the system, persisting, and got the results. Good job. And they showed Joe Louis to be right when he said "he can run, but he cant hide"...

  1. Don't get so excited. Remember that this woman got away with what she was doing for so long, then successfully ran away to Israel and then succesfully avoided extradition for so long because a big machine got into gear to ensure she'd never face justice. Yes, the system finally got her (cue the pidyon shevium campaign!) but the machine is still out there and the men running it will face no consequences.

  2. "using political connections and big money to hide out" this might be as evil as what she did - to be an enabler for something so evil, those people ought o be prosecuted as well.
