Quote:

An adoptive father of nine boys is behind bars in Harris County after being accused of s-xually assaulting at least one of his sons for years, and it is not the first time he's faced child relations allegations.

Hayim Nissim Cohen, 38, was arrested Friday and charged with continuous relations abuse of a child and s-xual assault of a child under 17 years old. Both charges stem from incidents involving the same son.

Charging documents state Cohen's 17-year-old son called into a podcast and admitted to the abuse he and his brothers faced at the hand of their adoptive father.

A single guy claiming to be jewish adopted 9 boys and made social media content about being jewish. According to the article and others, he SAed the boys.

I remember once reading an article either in mishpacha or ami about a single chassidish guy who adopted a bunch of boys. Is this the same one?

I just checked them out on Instagram. The whole thing is bizarre. The kids look like they are dressing up as “hassids” for Halloween. How could the authorities let this happen??!!! It’s despicable.

So why did he raise them Jewish? How do they know everything about Judaism? This is so freaky.
Now it's in the news that chassidim abuse their kids!

I'm pretty sure that they will mention that he's not jewish. Still terrible.

And anyone can find out anything about Judaism online.
