A New York rabbi has been sentenced to a maximum of 32 years in jail for the repeated sexual abuse of a 16-year-old boy

Baruch Lebovits, 59, was convicted on eight charges of abuse of the teenager between 2004 and 2005, and was given the maximum sentence on each count - meaning he would serve between 10 years and eight months and 32 years behind bars. The rabbi is also a prominent businessman in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, where the teenager also lived, said Kings County District Attorney Charles Hynes. Two separate cases of Lebovits's alleged sexual assaults on minors are still pending.
