Jewish community 'protected sex suspect'

A POLICE investigation into child sex offences at a prominent Jewish school was hindered by sections of the Jewish community amid attempts to protect a man charged with dozens of crimes against students, a Victoria Police detective has claimed.

The allegation came during a bail application for locksmith and security guard David Cyprys who was arrested yesterday morning.

Cyprys, 43, was charged with 16 counts of indecent assault and 13 counts of gross indecency from his time at Yeshiva College, East St Kilda, during the 1980s and 1990s.

....

"They (Jewish community) have failed to act in any way to protect the children and the matters have been swept under the carpet," Sen Det Metcher said "Lies have been told to police...information has been twisted or covered up," she said.
