A Hasidic cantor was convicted of sexually abusing a 16-year-old. The man who brought the case to light has now been charged with trying to extort the cantor.
Gotham: After Sexual Abuse Case, a Hasidic Accuser Is Shunned, Then Indicted (NYT)
Five years ago, this gray-bearded and excitable man with a black velvet yarmulke spoke out about the sexual abuse of his 16-year-old son by a prominent Hasidic cantor. As Mr. Kellner helped investigators with the Brooklyn district attorney’s office search for other young Orthodox victims of this man, the Orthodox establishment grew ever angrier at him. The rabbi at his Hasidic synagogue in Borough Park, Brooklyn, denounced Mr. Kellner as a traitor and forbade parishioners to talk with him on the street. Yeshivas barred his sons. His businesses dried up — he pawned his silverware to meet his bills. And he still fears that he will never find a marriage match for his son.Brooklyn Officials Proud to Support Hynes

The Cover Up is Worse Than the Crime
Poll: 52% Says Silver Should Step Down
Shelly’s compromising position(NYP Ed)
They say the coverup is worse than the crime. Shelly Silver sure found that out. And now those who back him are finding that covering for the man who covered up may be worst of all. In the latest fallout from Silver’s coverup of Vito Lopez’s sexual harassment, the Assembly speaker now faces a lawsuit saying that he should refund from his own pocket the $103,000 he took from taxpayers to keep two early Lopez victims quiet. The New York state head of the National Organization for Women calls for Silver’s resignation, while the city chapter remains silent in the hopes that Silver will shepherd through Gov. Cuomo’s “Women’s Equality Act. Of the five who were not on the letter, two--William Boyland and Eric Stevenson--are under indictment weren’t asked. A third, Inez Barron, opposes Silver. The two others are Deputy Speaker Earlene Hooper and Jose Rivera--both of whom Moya said he did not see to ask them to sign last week.
.” US Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand — a major critic of how the US military chain
of command deals with sexual assault — expresses “anger” and
“disappointment” at Silver’s actions, but says questions of his keeping
his post is an Assembly matter. * The latest Siena College poll finds that 52 percent of New Yorkers believe that Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver should step down as Speaker, while Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s
favorability rating, at 58 percent, is the lowest of his tenure:The NY Post criticizes
several key female elected officials – including Sen. Kirsten
Gillibrand – who have not called for Silver’s ouster in the wake of the
Vito Lopez scandal.

Success of Cuomo’s Plan for More Casinos Relies on His Power of Persuasion(NYT)
With regard to expanding casino gambling, Cuomo is hoping that he can persuade the Legislature to place a referendum on the ballot authorizing casinos, and convince casino companies to invest in upstate New York. The Syracuse Post-Standard says there’s still time for the Legislature and Cuomo to do “big things” in Albany. The NY Post dubs Cuomo “Gov. Andrew M. Excuses.” If Cuomo’s casino expansion plan is to become a reality, “he is going to have to hit a three-part parlay.”Amidst all the horse trading for the number and location of casinos that’s constantly changing, three leading contenders have emerged in the battle to build gaming facilities in the Catskills.* In Queens, a casino bet gone bad (NYT)
