A former Massachusetts rabbi was arraigned Wednesday on charges he sexually assaulted students during the 1970s, at a school, court papers said.
Stanley Z. Levitt, 63, of Philadelphia, was charged with assaulting two 11-year old students while he taught at the Maimonides School in Brookline, Mass., the Boston Herald reported. He was indicted last month by a Suffolk County grand jury on four counts of indecent assault and battery on a minor.
Levitt was released on $5,000 surety following his arraignment in Suffolk Superior Court, the newspaper said.
One of the incidents allegedly occurred at Children's Hospital in Boston where the boy was recuperating after an accident. Another 11-year-old boy was allegedly assaulted during a three-night visit to Levitt's home, prosecutors said.
Levitt faced pleaded no contest in Pennsylvania to charges of indecent assault and corrupting a minor. Charges of indecent exposure and endangering the welfare of a child were dropped.
Trial was set for July 12, 2010.
