A 33-year-old rabbi has been charged with sexually molesting a 14-year-old girl, the district attorney’s office said.
Michael Ozair pleaded not guilty to the charges last week. If convicted, he could be sent to prison for 10 years.
Ozair is a former teacher at Shalhevet High School in Los Angeles and Sinai Akiba in Westwood, according to the district attorney’s office.
He has lectured and taught at several congregations in West Los Angeles and Venice, prosecutors said.
The alleged molestation took place in June.
