The Jerusalem District Court has ruled that a new psychiatric report is needed to assess if former Melbourne school principal Malka Leifer is fit to face an extradition trial over child sex abuse allegations.
Now at hearing 57, the case to try and bring the former principal of the Ultra-Orthodox Adass Israel school in Melbourne back to Australia to face 74 charges of rape and child sex abuse has met countless delays.Judge Lomp in court said the evidence she had seen hadn't reached a significant benchmark to automatically state that Leifer had been feigning her illness and therefore was fit enough to face justice.
"It leaves the entire case in limbo and it's just prolonging the pain and suffering to Leifer's alleged victims," he said.For Dassi Erlich, one of the survivors of Leifer's alleged abuse who has been fighting to bring Leifer back to Australia for eight years, said the ruling left her feeling defeated.
"How is this not enough? How many more psychiatrists need to weigh in? How much more emotional pain?," she told AAP after the hearing.Ms Erlich and her two sisters intended to travel to Israel from Melbourne for the court hearing but cancelled their plans due to the continual and exhausting delays in the justice system.
