(JTA) — FBI raids in the Chasidic village of Kiryas Joel in upstate New York are reportedly part of a child abuse investigation stemming from two recently released videos in which a yeshiva principal intimately touches two young boys. The Journal News reported May 13 that an unidentified law enforcement source said the previous day’s raids targeting the United Talmudical Academy and the town’s public safety building were investigating abuse allegations. The majority of Kiryas Joel residents are part of the Satmar sect. The FBI has not made public the reasons for the May 12 raids in Kiryas Joel, although there had been widespread speculation that it was related to the videos of the 67-year-old principal at United Talmudical Academy kissing and touching two young boys. The Journal News reported that FBI agents spent approximately four hours at each location it raided May 12, leaving with boxes of documents and equipment.

In March, the FBI raided the village in an apparent investigation of potentially fraudulent use of the federal government’s E-rate program, which funds the purchase of technology equipment and Internet service by schools and libraries. A separate raid in March, in the Satmar community of Brooklyn, reportedly was over potentially fraudulent use of the federal government’s school lunch program.

The videos of the principal were reportedly taken several months ago using a ceiling camera hidden in his office. It is not clear who hid the camera and leaked the videos.
