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.
