Former B'nai B'rith head admits downloading 9 hours of child pornography for "education"

Ex B'nai Brith head ashamed of child porn

Friday, October 29, 2010


The former director of B'nai Brith Quebec says he's ashamed he had pornographic videos on his computer, but Bill Surkis maintains he's not a sex offender.

Surkis, 71, has admitted to downloading nearly nine hours of videos of men engaged in sexual activity with girls, but said it was because he was curious.

At his sentencing hearing in a Quebec Superior Court in Montreal on Thursday Surkis's lawyer asked him how he would feel if his name were added to the national sex offender registry as the Crown is requesting.

The father and grandfather said he still has contributions to make to his community and he wouldn't be able to make them if he were registered.

The Crown and the defence are recommending Surkis be sentenced to 45 days in jail to be served on weekends, the minimum sentence allowed by law.

They're also recommending he be placed on probation for three years and do 240 hours of community service.

Explicit files were discovered on Surkis's computer when he took it in for repairs in 2008.

The technician contacted Montreal police who uncovered 21 videos and dozens of photos, including images of girls aged six to 13.

Surkis's lawyer said in November 2009 that the videos were downloaded for research reasons.

"The purpose of his viewing the child pornography material [was] to educate himself on the topic of child pornography," lawyer Steven Slimovitch told CBC News outside court. "Then he would go into schools and give lectures on people abusing people."

But, prosecutors argued in court that there was no evidence to back up that claim. Surkis had not been hired by anyone to research child pornography and had not begun work on a study, they said.

In May, Surkis agreed to a plea bargain. In return for pleading guilty to charges of possessing and accessing child pornography, Crown prosecutor Cynthia Gyenizse dropped a charge of distributing child pornography.

Surkis served as the academic dean at John Abbott College on Montreal's west island for 22 years. He also served as the executive director of the Holocaust Memorial Centre in Montreal.

Slimovitch provided the court with eight letters of reference on his client's behalf in which Surkis is described as honest, truthful, and a man of exemplary character.

Gyenizse said although Surkis may be at low risk to re-offend, she said the risk is not zero.

She said the court needs to send a message that when people do what Surkis did they help feed the child pornography industry, creating more child victims.

"Possession will help the people who produce child pornography to produce more because there's a demand for it so there's an industry for it," she said.

Judge Céline Lamontagne will hand down her sentence Dec. 9.

Pederasty in the Yeshiva

Orthodox Judaism allows sodomy of boys less than nine years old (Judaism Discovered pp. 422-423). When the bishops call the rabbis their "elder brothers in the faith," this is the faith they must be referring to. Note the similarity in impenitence between the rabbis in this matter and that of the bishops. They don't adhere to the same rules as "the goyim." Note also that rabbinic pederasty is aired only in Judaic publications, not in front page national headlines as is the case with pederast priests. The so-called "secular 'Jews'" of the establishment press apparently abide by the rabbis' code of silence.

The Satmar is an anti-Zionist sect like the Neturei Karta but both uphold Talmud and Kabbalah and all of the depravity therein as divinely inspired. Many internet truth seekers, revisionist historians and even traditional Catholics have, for some unexplained reason, allied with these Satmar and Neturei Karta anti-Zionist, "'Torah'-true" "Jews." If the accusations against the rabbi below are true, he would have been raping that 8 year old boy with permission from his "Torah," which is to say, Talmud.

Satmar Teacher Accused of Sexual Abuse by Former Student

The Jewish Week

Staff Report - 08/27/2008

A teacher at a prominent Satmar yeshiva in Williamsburg has been accused of sexual assault and abuse by a former student.

In court papers filed Wednesday, Joel Engelman is seeking $5 million in damages from Rabbi Avorohom Reichman, the yeshiva, the United Talmudical Academy and the Satmar Bungalow Colony, where Reichman also teaches in the sect¹s summer camp in upstate White Lake.

The civil complaint alleges that Engelman, now 23, was 8 years old in 1993 when Rabbi Reichman sexually assaulted him. The suit alleges that Engelman "suffered psychological and physical injury, which required medical and psychological treatment," as a result of the abuse.

The suit also alleges that the school "continues to lack basic rules protecting children from sexual assault."

It states that a deal was in place in April whereby the Engelman family agreed not to pursue legal action in return for Reichman¹s resignation from the school and the camp. But Rabbi Reichman, according to the suit, was videotaped teaching at the camp in July, after the statute of limitations for a criminal prosecution had run out.

"The defendants fraudulently induced Joel Engelman to enter into this exchange of mutual promises, and oral contract," the suit alleges.

It also claims that various Satmar officials investigated Engelman's allegations and found that "there were multiple, credible complaints of sexual abuse made against Reichman."

Calls to United Talmudical Academy and the Satmar Bungalow Colony for comment were not returned.

"I really didn¹t want this to get into the courts," Engelman told The Jewish Week. "Had they done things differently [and fired Reichman], I probably wouldn¹t have sued. This is the last thing I wanted."

Engelman's sexual abuse allegations are the latest in a string of such charges made by former male yeshiva students in ultra-Orthodox schools in Brooklyn.

Rabbi Yehuda Kolko, a first grade teacher at Yeshiva Torah Temima in Flatbush, recently plead guilty to two counts of endangering the welfare of a child after being charged with several counts of sexual abuse. Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes defended the last-minute plea, citing the young age of the plaintiff.

Several civil suits pending against Rabbi Kolko and the school seek a total some $50 million in damages.
