Haredi rabbi who solicited sex from a 14-year-old gets no-jail sentence

Rabbi Nathan David (Nosson Dovid) Rabinowich sent explicit electronic messages and also arranged to meet a person whom he thought was a 14-year-old girl for sex in Queens. Rabinowich was originally charged with four sex crimes, including attempted rape, but pleaded guilty to only one count of Attempted Criminal Sex Act-2 on a victim younger than 15-years-old. He was sentenced to a $5,000 fine, 10-years probation and registration as a Level 1 (low level) sex offender.
