This Utah rabbi, sexually abused as a child, wants defense attorneys to get sensitivity training

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) One year ago, Rabbi Avrohom “Avremi” Zippel's testified about sexual abuse he experienced as a child, which led to the conviction and prison sentence of his former nanny, Alavina Florreich. After hearing a defense attorney's argument that Zippel, as a child, was the sexual aggressor, he is now advocating for increased training for defense attorneys, saying they should have trauma-informed training just as prosecutors and the police do.
