A Baltimore rabbi was found liable for sexually abusing two children at a Jewish summer camp in a multiyear case.

Rabbi Steven Krawatsky, formerly a figure in the Orthodox community, was found liable for sexually abusing children at Camp Shoresh in Maryland, as a civil court jury ruled against him, awarding damages to the victims and dismissing defamation claims.

Rabbi Steven (Shmuel) Krawatsky, accused of sexual abuse by families of three boys he worked with at Camp Shoresh in Maryland in 2014 and 2015, will face a civil trial where a jury will decide the validity of the claims and whether the families are liable for defamation.
