Last Thursday, County Court Judge Mark Gamble sentenced Leifer to 15 years imprisonment for 18 sexual offences – including six counts of rape – with a non-parole period of 11.5 years. The sentence takes into account time already spent in custody, meaning she could be released in 2029.


"How do I move on in life without Malka Leifer being such a central role in it – especially after getting ‘not guilty’?”

It’s the question Nicole Meyer continues to wrestle with, while she spoke candidly with The AJN from a Melbourne hotel room, four days after the sentencing of disgraced former hadass Israel School principal, Malka Leifer. Shane Desiatnik reports.
