Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez is backing a bid to re-sentence a prominent counselor in the Hasidic Jewish community who was originally sentenced to 103 years in prison for repeatedly abusing an adolescent girl.

The move to support leniency for the counselor, Nechemya Weberman, has alarmed advocates for abuse survivors as the long-running case returns to court next month.

If he isn’t given a reduced sentence, Weberman, who is 67 and has served 13 years, will likely die in prison, his supporters contend.

Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez appears poised to try to help free a convicted pedophile from the Hasidic community, critics say — and things got so heated about it at the State of the State address that he and a foe had to be separated.

Activists opposing the upcoming resentencing of disgraced former prominent Hasidic school mental-health counselor Nechemya Weberman said they fear that the DA will ask for a new sentence of time served, effectively freeing the convicted sicko.
