A rabbi is accused of molesting a 10-year-old religion student on Long Island.

Nassau County Police say Gary Lieberman, of Far Rockaway, was awaiting arraignment Friday on two counts of sexual abuse.

The name of his attorney was not immediately known.

A school official notified police about the allegations this year. Lieberman was arrested Thursday.

Police say the alleged abuse occurred between November 2009 and May 2010. His employment at the academy in West Hempstead was terminated in August 2010. But police say he may have continued teaching at other private religious schools.

They’re asking any other possible victims to notify the Nassau County Police Special Victims Squad.
