Arizona Rabbi Accused of Raping 7-Year-Old Girl

Authorities have arrested a rabbi in Gilbert, Arizona accused of raping a 7-year-old girl a decade ago.

Because the alleged crime occurred in New York City, U.S. Marshals and detectives from the New York Police Department were assigned to the case. They arrested Rabbi Bryan Bramley outside Temple Beth Shalom Synagogue in Gilbert.

The victim claims she was raped while spending the night at Bramley's family home in New York when she was just 7 years old. But it wasn't until last summer when the victim, now 17, finally came forward to report the incident.

Bramley is being held in the Maricopa County Jail in Arizona pending his extradition to New York City. If convicted of the charges, Bramley could be sentenced to up to 25 years in prison, thousands of dollars in fines, probation, and mandatory registration as a sex offender for life.
