For immediate release: Thursday, Dec. 11

Statement by Barbara Dorris of St. Louis, Outreach Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 503 0003, b[email protected])

A convicted child molesting Jewish teacher – who molested a boy at a synagogue here - is back in St. Louis. For the safety of kids, we hope synagogue officials will warn the public about him and will aggressively seek out others who may have seen, suspected or suffered his crimes, begging them to call law enforcement immediately.

David Kramer abused children at a school in Melbourne Australia during the 1990s and sodomized a 12-year-old at a synagogue in St. Louis.

We applaud Manny Waks, one of Kramer’s victims in Australia, for speaking up about this dangerous man, who some kids called “Rabbi Kramer.” We hope that others who have information or suspicions about him will promptly call police and prosecutors.
