Accused Sex Offender Extradited from Israel

The Jewish Week, January 9, 2008

Stefan Colmer became the first accused sex offender to be extradited from Israel under a revised treaty when he arrived in Brooklyn on Monday to face charges that he sodomized two 13-year-old boys in his home in 2006.

Colmer fled to Israel in February after learning he was under investigation, according to Brooklyn District Attorney Charles J. Hynes.

Hynes is also seeking custody of Avrohom Mondrowitz, who was indicted in 1984 for sodomizing four young boys and has been arrested in Israel as extradition proceedings are pending.
