Los Angeles (JTA) — Federal
prosecutors have dropped
charges against a Brooklyn Cha-
sidic rabbi accused of sexually
molesting a teen-age girl.
"We have dismissed the com-
plaint [of sexually touching a mi-
nor] against Rabbi Israel
Grunwald," Assistant U.S. At-
torney Debra Yang said. "As of
today, there is nothing charged
against him."
However, Ms. Yang added, she
will continue her investigation
into the case.
Rabbi Grunwald and his as-
sistant, Yehudah Friedlander,
both 44, were arrested at Los An-
geles International Airport on
May 31, after an overnight flight
from Australia. During the flight,
a 15-year-old American girl com-
plained that she had been fondled
and groped by both men.
Mr. Friedlander, indicted by a
federal grand jury on the more
serious charge of sexually abus-
ing a minor, is free on $200,000
bail.
As a condition of his release on
bail, Mr. Friedlander, who has
declared his innocence, was
placed under house arrest. This
restriction has now been modi-
fied to allow him to attend daily
prayer services and work at Con-
gregation Thidos Yacov Yosef in
the Borough Park section of
Brooklyn, N.Y.
However, Mr. Friedlander will
remain under electronic surveil-
lance and lias been forbidden any
contact with minors, not includ-
ing his five children.
