  • 'Terrible explosion of antisemitism in Australia since Oct. 7,' Scott Morrison says

  • Rahel Bayar: Warning signs of child sexual abuse
    Jan 12 2026
    Rahel Bayar, a former sex crimes and child abuse prosecutor from the Bronx District Attorney’s Office, has spent years handling some of the most severe cases involving crimes against children. Today, she works on the prevention side, advising schools, camps, religious institutions, sports organizations, and nonprofits on how to create environments that reduce the risk of abuse and harassment.

    Bayar, who now runs the New York-based Bayar Group consultancy, said two types of cases stayed with her most from her time as a prosecutor. The first involved children whose futures she still wonders about, after their cases ended in court. The second involved cases that could not be prosecuted at all, often because young victims were too traumatized to testify or lacked corroborating evidence.
