Report:
Valley rabbi arrested for sexually assaulting
child

Bryan Bramly was arrested outside his Chandler
synagogue Tuesday.

CHANDLER, AZ -- An East Valley rabbi
was arrested Tuesday for sexually assaulting a child in New York 10 years
ago, according to authorities.

Bryan Bramly, 45, was taken into
custody in the parking lot of the Temple Beth Sholom Synagogue in Chandler
by members of the U.S. Marshals and detectives with the New York Police
Department.

According to court documents obtained Wednesday, Bramly
is considered to be a flight risk as he is not a U.S. citizen; he was
issued a green card in October 2009 and is from Victoria, British
Columbia. Bramly has reportedly also lived in Israel in the
past.

Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Thomas Henman said
Rabbi Bramly is accused of raping a 7-year-old girl in March 2000 in New
York City.

The victim, now 17, reported the incident to police in
August 2009.

The alleged assault happened while the victim was
spending the night at Bramly's New York home.

Bramly, who
currently works at the Chandler synagogue, was reportedly living in New
York with his family while he was completing his studies to become a
rabbi.

Adam Schwartz, President and CEO of the Jewish Federation of
Greater Phoenix, issued a statement about Bramly's arrest
Wednesday.

“We first learned about this situation through the media
and as the story develops in the press we are learning more details. This
is obviously an extremely serious situation and we are very concern for
all involved,” he said.

According to Henman, Bramly is
currently being held at the Maricopa County Jail while awaiting
extradition to New York to face charges of first degree
rape.

"Our offices in New York and Arizona working in concert
with NYPD, were able to locate and arrest an individual accused of preying
on our most valuable commodity, a child," said U.S. Marshal David
Gonzales.
