Brooklyn DA charges man with perjury in rabbi abuse caseLast Updated: 11:57 AM, April 13, 2011 Posted: 11:55 AM, April 13, 2011 *-- context: *
Authorities say a man is charged with paying a child $10,000 to falsely testify that a Brooklyn rabbi had sexually abused him. The rabbi, Baruch Lebovits, was sentenced last year to up to 32 years in prison. District Attorney Charles J. Hynes says a new indictment charges Samuel Kellner with perjury. The prosecutor says Kellner found out in 2008 that the rabbi had been accused of molesting a child, then got the second child to make similar claims. Kellner also is accused of demanding $400,000 from the rabbi's family while saying he could have other children make allegations against him. The name of Kellner's attorney was not immediately on record.

Borough Park, NY - Lawyers Seeking Reversal of 32-Year Sentencing After Arrest of Man For Bribing WitnessPublished on: April 13th, 2011 at 12:39 PM  News Source: VIN News - News Core *--.* Last updated on: Today 12:35 PM Borough Park, NY - Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes announced the indictment of Samuel Kellner, 49, charged with paying a child to testify falsely that Borough Park rabbi, Baruch Lebovits, had sexually abused him. Kellner is also charged with attempting to extort $400,000 from the Lebovits family to prevent other children from accusing the rabbi and to stop those who had come forward from pursuing their cases. The indictment charges that, in 2008 Kellner paid a second child $10,000 to falsely claim Lebovits also abused him. Both children testified before a Kings County Grand Jury which ultimately charged Lebovits with both misdemeanor and felony sex abuse counts, according to the indictment against Kellner. Kellner next sent emissaries to the Lebovits family demanding $400,000, in exchange for which, Kellner would prevent those witnesses from testifying at trial and prevent a third ''victim'' from coming forward, according to the indictment. The Lebovits family did not comply with the demand, and in November 2008, a third ''victim'' did come forward, the indictment charges. Kellner later threatened to bring a fourth ''victim'' to testify, according to the indictment. In March 2010 Lebovits was convicted of eight counts of Criminal Sexual Act in the Third Degree, with the testimony of the third witness. The second witness did not testify at the trial. Lebovits was sentenced to 10-and-two-thirds to 32 years in prison. Kellner is charged with Five Counts of Attempted Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, Two Counts of Perjury in the First Degree, One Count of Conspiracy in the Fourth Degree and Two Counts of Criminal Solicitation in the Fourth Degree. If convicted, he faces up to 21 years in prison. According to NBC News Defense lawyers for Lebovits were expected in court Wednesday to try and argue their client should be released.

New York - Brooklyn Rabbi Released on Bail After Extortion Scheme UncoveredPublished on: April 13th, 2011 at 05:38 PM  News Source: VIN News Staff *--.* New York - In a major development, VIN News has confirmed that a Brooklyn rabbi who was sentenced to a 10 ½ to 32 year prison term for child molestation a year ago was released on $250,000 bail pending appeal and remain under house arrest, after it was determined that witnesses who had testified against him had been paid to falsely claim that they had been molested by 60 year old Rabbi Boruch Lebovits. Lebovits was represented on appeal by high-power attorney Alan Dershowitz and his original defense lawyer Arthur Aidala. As was reported earlier on VIN News, Samuel Kellner, 49, was arraigned today in Brooklyn Supreme Court for 10 counts of grand larceny, perjury and conspiracy that can land him behind bars for up to 21 years. According to the NY Daily News, He pleaded not guilty and his lawyer Israel Fried described him as an advocate of sexual-abuse victims, which made him a lightening rod in the ultra-orthodox neighborhood. "It seems reasonable that people in the community who are aware of him bringing people to justice will have a vendetta against my client," he said. Kellner allegedly attempted to extort $400,000 from Lebovitz after learning in 2008 that a young man had brought charges of sexual abuse against Rabbi Lebovits. When the family refused to pay, Kellner allegedly paid off witnesses to lie and claim that Lebovits had abused them as well, resulting in greater charges being brought against him. Lebovits is expected to use these new developments to challenge his original conviction. More details soon

DA Hynes announces charges against Samuel Keller

When the family refused to pay, Kellner allegedly paid off witnesses to lie and claim that Lebovits had abused them as well, resulting in greater charges being brought against him. An investigation into Lebovits - a wealthy man who owned a travel agency - began when Kellner's close relative accused the rabbi of inappropriate touching, sources said. Lebovits was hit with a misdemeanor, but when a second accuser - the one paid by Kellner - came forward, the rabbi was slapped with felony counts, prosecutors said. The charges relating to Kellner's relative were eventually dismissed, and the second accuser later refused to testify at trial. Meanwhile, representatives for Kellner told the Lebovits family to pay up or another victim would come forward, prosecutors said. When the family refused, a third accuser stepped forward and gave testimony in March 2010 that led to Lebovits' conviction. A source told the Daily News that third accuser was also tainted, having been offered $50,000 to take the stand. "We believe everything was premeditated all along. All they wanted was the money," said a relative of Lebovits who asked not to be named. "The DA has him on recordings." Lebovits is expected to use these new developments to challenge his original conviction.

Man Accused Of Paying False Witness $10K In Testify In Rabbi Abuse CaseApril 13, 2011 2:26 PM
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – Authorities have charged 49-year-old Samuel Kellner with paying a fraudulent witness $10,000 to falsely testify that a Brooklyn rabbi had sexually abused him as a child. Rabbi Baruch Lebovits was sentenced to up to 32 years in prison last year. 1010 WINS' Stan Brooks with more details on the accusations District Attorney Charles J. Hynes said a new indictment charges Kellner with perjury in addition to extortion and conspiracy. He was not charged with bribery or witness tampering. Hynes said Kellner found out in 2008 that the rabbi had been accused of molesting a child, then got the second child to make similar claims. Kellner also is accused of demanding $400,000 from the rabbi's family while saying he could have other children make similar allegations against him. ''We allege that Kellner sent emissaries to Lebovits' family telling them that he controlled the witnesses against Baruch Lebovits,'' Hynes said, ''and that in return for $400,000, he would ensure that the witnesses would not testify at trial.'' Hynes stated that while child abuse cases must be ''prosecuted vigorously,'' authorities should be mindful and ''very, very careful about false complaints.''

Man Charged with Paying Child to Give False Testimony*-- /Headline **-- Author Byline *
http://www.ny1.com/content/top_stories/137357/man-charged-with-paying-child-to-give-false-testimony A man is charged with paying a child to falsely testify in a Brooklyn rabbi's sexual assault trial.
A man is charged with paying a child to falsely testify in a Brooklyn rabbi's sexual assault trial. Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes says Samuel Kellner, 49, paid a young boy $10,000 to testify that Rabbi Baruch Lebovits sexually abused him. Kellner also reportedly tried to solicit $400,000 from the rabbi's family, saying he could prevent the children from testifying. The district attorney says the rabbi is applying for bail pending an appeal, but he says Kellner's indictment should not change his sentence. Lebovits is serving up to 32 years in prison for sexual assault. "The question is whether or not the appellate division under all of the circumstances of this case will admit Lebovits to bail," said Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes. "We're opposing it, because we see no connection. Its clear that number two was falsifying, but we have no reason to believe that number three falsified his testimony." Hynes added the bribed witness did not testify, and it was the testimony of a third child that led to the rabbi's conviction. Kellner is charged with perjury, attempted grand larceny, conspiracy and criminal solicitation. If convicted, he faces up to 21 years in prison.

וואל סט' דזשורנאל
Victim Allegedly Was Paid to TestifyA Brooklyn man has been indicted for allegedly paying a child to testify that he was molested by a Yeshiva teacher and for attempting to extort the teacher's family out of $400,000 in exchange for suppressing other alleged victims from coming forward. Samuel Kellner, 49 years old, pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of grand larceny, perjury, conspiracy and criminal solicitation in Brooklyn Supreme Court Wednesday. His attorney, Israel Fried, didn't return a call seeking comment. The charges against Mr. Kellner stem from a 2008 case in which Baruch Lebovits was accused of molesting a boy. According to prosecutors, Mr. Kellner paid a second child $10,000 to falsely claim Mr. Lebovits had sexually abused him too. At about the same time, Mr. Kellner, through an intermediary, demanded $400,000 from Mr. Lebovits's family in exchange for preventing the two boys from testifying and for preventing more young men from coming forward with accusations of sexual abuse, Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said. When Mr. Lebovits's family refused the demand, a third victim came forward with an accusation of abuse, Mr. Hynes said. In March 2010, Mr. Lebovits was convicted of eight counts of criminal sexual act and sentenced to up to 32 years in prison. A spokesman for Mr. Hynes said the new developments don't affect Mr. Lebovits's conviction. The spokesman said the first and third victims were legitimate, and Mr. Lebovits was convicted based on the testimony of the third victim. He conceded that the accusations made by the second victim were likely false, but the second victim never testified at the teacher's trial. On Wednesday, an appellate division judge granted Mr. Lebovits $250,000 bail and house arrest pending the appeal of his conviction. His attorney, Arthur Aidala, said he was "satisfied" the district attorney pursued the case against Mr. Kellner. "It's always been our theory that the complainants only came forth and created these stories because they were paid tens of thousands of dollars," he said. "We're hopeful this will lead to the total exoneration of our client.
