A 39-year-old man with a history of sex offenses has pleaded not guilty in Rockland County Court to new charges of improperly touching a teenage boy.
Yoel Oberlander is being held in federal custody in New Jersey on accusations of violating his supervised release from prison based on his June arrest in Rockland on the new charges, his attorney Daniel Bertolino said today.
Oberlander was arraigned Tuesday by County Court Judge Larry Schwartz in New City on grand jury misdemeanor charges of third-degree sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child. Oberlander is accused of improperly touching a 15-year-old boy's genitals on June 3, Bertolino said.
Oberlander's next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 7.
"He intends to vigorously fight the charges and have me defend him until the day he's exonerated, which is our expectation," Bertolino said.
Supervising Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Parietti declined comment on the grand jury indictment or the case, citing the nature of the charges. She is chief of the office's Special Victims Unit.
Airplane incident
Oberlander was sentenced to 13 months in federal prison in July 2017 for assault with intent to commit stalking when he touched a woman's chest and harassed her during an El Al flight from Tel Aviv to Newark Liberty Airport in May 2016. He was placed on three years supervised release.

See what @FrumReporter says about this guy.
Yet our corrupt judges and prosecutors let this scum off over and over.
Thanks to the block vote.
