    Jury convicts rabbi accused of sexually abusing student

    New Haven, Conn. — A Connecticut rabbi accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a teenage boy who attended a school the rabbi founded has been convicted by a jury.

    Daniel Greer was found guilty of four counts of risk of injury to a minor Wednesday. Each count carries up to 20 years in prison.

    Greer is expected to be sentenced in November.

    A New Jersey man, now 31, alleges Greer sexually assaulted him multiple times when he attended the Yeshiva of New Haven school from 2001 to 2005. The man was awarded $15 million in a civil lawsuit against Greer, who is appealing.

    Greer's lawyer expects to appeal the convictions.

    A judge on Monday dismissed sexual assault charges, citing the statute of limitations.
