A rabbi accused of molesting his daughter manipulated his son into making a tape saying he was having sex with his sister, the young man testified yesterday.
"I know about things between you and your sister and I want you to record that for your mom," Israel Weingarten, 59, reportedly told son Yoineson, 29.
Testifying in Brooklyn federal court, the son said his father repeatedly pressured him to help clear his name, even though he suspected that the older man was having an improper relationship with his sister.A rabbi accused of molesting his daughter manipulated his son into making a tape... more

This will raise some eyebrows. Helen Mirren says she's been the victim of date-rape before, but if a woman says no at the last second, don't go whining your way into court.
CNN.com got a copy of a GQ story that's about to be published, in which Mirren calls date-rape a "tricky area," something best worked out between the parties.
Mirren says if a couple is heavy into sexual activity and the woman says "no" at the last second, technically it's rape, but, "I don't think she can have that man into court under those circumstances. I guess it is one of the subtle parts of the men/women relationship that has to be negotiated and worked out between them."This will raise some eyebrows.

As Baby Boomers enter retirement and the demand for nursing homes swells, sexual predators are among those needing care, putting others in the homes at risk.
Sandra Thurston Banning brought the story of her mother’s victimization to Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Her mother, Virginia Thurston, suffered from dementia and was 77 at the time of her assault.
“I placed my mother in a facility to keep her safe and out of harm’s way,” Banning said.
Thurston’s rapist, an 83-year-old resident who relied on a wheelchair, had been arrested 59 times and was placed in the nursing home by an Alachua County, Fla., judge “because he was a danger to himself and others in society,” according to Banning’s testimony before a House small business subcommittee.
If she had known there was someone with such a record in her mother’s nursing home, “I wouldn’t have left her there for one day,” Banning said. The man who committed the rape was found incompetent to stand trial and was relocated to another Florida nursing home, Banning said.
Demand for long-term care services is expected to more than double by 2040, according to National Investment Center for the Seniors Housing and Care Industry. Meanwhile, staff, residents and visitors may not realize there are registered sex offenders living in nursing homes.
“Depending on state regulations, many long-term care facilities may not be aware of residents who are offenders,” testified Rep. Mary Fallin, R-Okla.
One issue is federal law, which requires states to pay for nursing home services for anyone eligible for Medicaid, whether or not they are convicted felons, according to Rep. Kris Steele, R-Okla.
When people with a criminal history require long-term care, “we are legally obligated to provide appropriate care and services,” said Tom Coble, president of Elmbrook Management Co. in Ardmore, Okla., who testified on behalf of the American Health Care Association.
