during a resentencing Tuesday — till he pretended to forget details of his crimes and the furious prosecutor reversed course and pushed for more time. Nechemya Weberman ended up with a sentence slashed down from 103 years to 18 years, although with time served, that amounts to just five years left on the clock for the pedo — and with good behavior, he could be out by 2028.
“Mr. Weberman’s outrageous behavior in court today personified why he remains a danger to society,” said Sarena Townsend, the lawyer for the sicko’s then-12-year-old female victim. “His repeated denials and refusal to face his actions proved that his assurances of rehabilitation and remorse were lies.” Weberman, a former counselor at a Williamsburg yeshiva now in his 60s, appeared vivacious, smiling and jovial on video feed from the maximum-security Shawangunk Prison in upstate New York — despite his supporters painting an image of a feeble man at death’s door.on 59 counts and originally sentenced to 103 years in prison 13 years ago for repeatedly sexually abusing victim Rivky Deutsch for three years.The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office — under pressure from some members of the convict’s religious community for years — was prepared to effectively push to free the convicted sicko, having sought the resentencing on the grounds his 103-year stint was excessive and that he had already served enough time. But Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Joseph Alexis changed course mid-hearing when Weberman claimed to forget the gory details of his misdeeds. The pedophile attested to his remorse and apologized, reading from a statement, claiming he had spent years “in denial’’ and was “a changed man.’’Judge Matthew D’Emic became noticeably irritated Tuesday when Weberman claimed to not remember the details of his sexual abuse.Weberman repeatedly responded “I don’t remember” when asked graphic questions about his crimes, including if he recalled forcing his pre-teen victim to perform oral sex. “What’s troubling to me is that Mr. Weberman can’t remember,” Alexis said “The victim can never forget.”“Quite frankly if the defendant was forthcoming, I was authorized to offer 15 years,” Alexis said, a move that would have potentially seen Weberman walk free.“ walked in ready to let walk out,” said Asher Lovy, director of the Orthodox Jewish victims group Za’akah. “It would be tragic if in five years from now, someone else is standing here describing his own story similar to mine, your Honor. You have the ability to prevent that.” Judge Matthew D’Emic’s new sentence gives Weberman five more years to recall his misdeeds, but with good behavior, he could be out in half the time. “A modified sentence of 18 years with 10 years supervision remains a meaningful penalty,” the judge said. Weberman, who has fought his conviction and sentence for years, could still further appeal the new ruling. Sexual abuse advocates said the new sentence sends a “dangerous” message to survivors in the Hasidic community. “ walked in ready to let walk out,” said Asher Lovy, director of the Orthodox Jewish victims group Za’akah. “And the only reason he didn’t is because that dumb f–k was too stupid to just answer the questions and show a little bit of remorse himself.”Trump addresses requests to fire DHS Sec. with blunt, one-word response Here's how much more money Americans will see in their tax refunds – thanks to Trump's signature bill Alex Pretti was 'known' to feds, and had rib broken in anti-ICE protest a week before he was killed by Border PatrolDavid and Victoria Beckham’s 14-year-old daughter, Harper, bundles up in fur coat and $4K vintage Chanel bagKim Kardashian reveals the one ‘KUWTK’ moment Kris Jenner never wanted to ‘see the light of day’ David and Victoria Beckham’s 14-year-old daughter, Harper, bundles up in fur coat and $4K vintage Chanel bagGregory P.
