Velvel Serebryanski, the son of a prominent rabbi, has been found guilty of child sexual abuse in Melbourne, Australia, bringing closure to a scandal that has deeply affected the local Jewish community for decades. The victim, Manny Waks, who is now an advocate for survivors, was abused by Serebryanski in the late 1980s while attending Chabad-Lubavitch educational institutions. Serebryanski denied the charges but was convicted on all counts, following years of legal battles and a public confession aired in 2017. The case also highlighted the involvement of the Yeshivah Centre in covering up abuse, and Waks has encouraged other victims to come forward and seek justice.
