- Rabbi Yizhak Meir Sabo, 43, a Zionist rabbi based in Dallas, had in October 2023 publicly claimed that Hamas fighters were committing mass rapes—a claim later proven false and widely debunked.
- On April 1, 2025, Sabo was arrested in Dallas County and charged with indecency with a child. His bail was set at $100,000.
- Allegations detail that Sabo allegedly molested a teenage male student during his high school years—exposing himself, touching the student’s genitals, observing him shower, and giving inappropriate “massages.” The incidents reportedly occurred while the student was in grades 9–12 .
- The school where Sabo worked (Akiba Yavneh Academy) placed him on administrative leave after initial reports in late March. Following the arrest in April, he remains banned from campus and any school-related activities. Current legal and media updates
- No new updates have emerged since the April 1 arrest; there’s no public information on his arraignment, plea, trial date, or any developments in the investigation.
- No evidence that Sabo has fled or attempted to leave the U.S.; he remains detained in Dallas County.
- No official statements from prosecution, defense, or district attorney regarding next steps—no trial timeline, plea offer, or additional charges announced.
So, what’s next?
- Await court proceedings: likely an arraignment or preliminary hearing in the coming weeks.
- Monitoring media and court filings: For notices of indictments, plea arrangements, or a trial date.
- Potential additional victims: School officials noted more families have come forward, so future charges are possible.
As of April 2025, Sabo is in custody in Dallas on a serious child-indecency charge with no public resolution yet. Let me know if you’d like updates on court filings or trial schedules!
