Aaron ‘Ezzy’ Kestecher: Jewish Child Molester

Our next jewish child molester is an individual named Aaron ‘Ezzy’ Kestecher (aka Aron Kestecher) who sexually assaulted and raped pre-teen and young teenage boys between 2009 and 2010 (but his crimes probably go back to 2005) at the Lubavitch Chabad-run Yeshivah College in Melbourne, Australia (1) and whose crimes there were subjected to an Australian Royal Commission investigation in 2015 (2) along with those of his fellow jewish serial child molesters Samuel David Cyprys, (3) Rabbi David Kramer (4) and Daniel Hayman. (5)

As the ‘Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse’ explains in its report in 2016 which covers Kestecher’s activities:

‘We received evidence concerning Mr Aron Ezriel Kestecher, who was described as volunteering at Chabad Youth, including at the summer camps run by Chabad Youth, from 2005 until 2008. Rabbi Kahn stated that Mr Kestecher was fully aware of, and in part helped to formulate, the Chabad Youth child protection policies.

In 2008, Rabbi Kahn received a complaint that Mr Kestecher had fallen asleep on a teenage boy’s bed at a summer camp. After consulting with the Yeshivah Melbourne Committee of Management, Rabbi Kahn states that he drove approximately five hours to the boys’ camp site. He spoke with Mr Kestecher, a number of the teenage boys and the teenage boy’s mother about the incident.

Mr Kestecher, the teenage boys and the particular teenage boy’s mother are all recorded to have denied that anything inappropriate had occurred and that it was ‘no big deal’. In any event, Rabbi Kahn states that he asked Mr Kestecher to leave the camp.

After discussion with Mr Chaim (Harry) New (the chairperson of the Committee of Management) and the Committee of Management, Mr Kestecher was asked to cease all volunteering and involvement with Chabad Youth and was directed to see Ms Mary Mass, a counsellor at the South Eastern Centre Against Sexual Assault.

Rabbi Khan said that Ms Mass recommended that Mr Kestecher be allowed to remain with Chabad Youth on the basis that he did not pose a risk. Rabbi Kahn stated that he regarded the risk to be unacceptable and did not follow the recommendation.

Mr Kestecher also conducted a co-curricular choir with students in the Yeshivah College Melbourne. On 13 June 2011, Rabbi Smukler received a telephone call from a community therapist advising him that she had received a report of child sexual abuse relating to Mr Kestecher. The counsellor advised that she had contacted the police.

Rabbi Smukler stated that he had immediately cancelled the choir and that the Yeshivah College Melbourne had then emailed the parents of choir members advising that the choir had been temporarily cancelled. Rabbi Smukler recalled that, shortly after the incident at the Chabad Youth summer camp, he was told that another student had reported inappropriate touching by Mr Kestecher (outside of school hours) to Rabbi Glick.

Rabbi Smukler stated that he had contacted Rabbi Glick and obtained the details of the allegation. Together they then reported the allegation to the Victoria Police and the Department of Human Services. Rabbi Smukler stated that Rabbi Glick had encouraged the family to go to the police and press charges, but the family had decided that they would not.’ (6)

What the Royal Commission’s report doesn’t outline however is that while it states that ‘charges were dropped’ against Kestecher (7) it doesn’t explain that this wasn’t because there was a lack of evidence against Kestecher, but rather because the victims suddenly dropped their complaints against him. (8) This in itself is a classic example of how the Mesirah principle in Judaism is used to force individuals and families within the jewish community to drop their charges against other jews and/or stop cooperating with the police for fear of complete social and religious exclusion (9) as well as historically an extra-judicial death sentence. (10)

The fact is that Kestecher was clearly a serial homosexual jewish child molester of pre-teens and young teenagers and despite trying to make it appear that police had organically dropped the charges against Kestecher they did so because the jewish community had successfully pressured the victims/witnesses to withdraw their complaint not due to a lack of evidence.

Happily, however Kestecher topped himself in 2014 (11) so there was no need to keep trying to throw him in prison; so for once there is a happy ending to one of these numerous cases of jewish child molestation.
