An Australian state leader on Tuesday described an Israeli court decision to extradite a former teacher wanted in Australia on charges of molesting children as a victory for abuse victims.
Daniel Andrews is premier of Victoria state where Malka Leifer is accused of molesting three sisters – Dassi Erlich, Nicole Meyer and Elly Sapper – while they were students at a Melbourne ultra-Orthodox school.

Andrews welcomed a Jerusalem District Court ruling on Monday that Leifer could be extradited to Australia to stand trial for 74 charges of child sex abuse, potentially paving the way for the Israeli citizen to stand trial in Victoria after a six-year legal battle.
