Case 334: Nicole Meyer, Dassi Erlich & Elly Sapper
Case 334 Nicole Meyer, Dassi Erlich & Elly Sapper
*** Content warnings: Child sexual abuse, sexual assault, self-harm ***
When renowned teacher Malka Leifer joined the staff at Adass Israel School in the Melbourne suburb of Elsternwick, she was welcomed by the entire community. For the girls who attended the ultra-Orthodox Jewish school, Mrs Leifer’s warm, outgoing and friendly personality made her a breath of fresh air.
But all was not as it seemed. It would take three former students – sisters Nicole Meyer, Dassi Erlich and Elly Sapper – to finally reveal the truth.
