Jewish men are commanded by the Torah to marry and procreate so it is unusual to have sexual improprieties performed against children, but in this case the rabbi accused on such a heinous act did so with the knowledge of the Jewish community he served.
How is it possible that the Jewish People could stray so far from the tenants of the Torah? Religion is not indigenous to the Jewish People; there is no word in Hebrew for religion; Dat/Law is used to fill the blank. Law is the closest Hebrew comes to religion because law is hard and implacable, but nothing is as hard, insensitive and brutal as religion.
The Jewish People became religious when the rabbis accepted the tax breaks offered to institutions that sell God. Lost were dictates of the Torah for money as stated in the Koran that in the end religion will sell themselves for a pittance.
Those who knew and allowed this to happen are likened to those in the tents of Korach/Ice who were swallowed alive into the earth because they tried to politicize the Torah and introduce religion to the Jewish People 3500 years ago.
