A married rabbi has been arrested for allegedly paying an underage prostitute for sex, three years after he pleaded guilty to molesting a young boy at a Jewish camp.
Aryeh Goodman, 35, turned himself in to police in East Brunswick, New Jersey, with his lawyer on February 6.
He is accused of sleeping with the 17-year-old girl at a hotel on February 1. Two others, her alleged pimps, were also arrested.
Goodman is married with children. In 2015, he pleaded guilty to molesting a boy under the age of 13 at a Jewish camp in 2001.
He was sentenced to between 11 and 23 months in jail and was told he must register as a sex offender.

Goodman did not respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment on Monday morning.
According to the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office, Goodman had sex with the girl at a hotel near his home where he also runs East Brunswick Chabad, a religious organization which offers classes for women and children.
Gabriella Colon, 18, and Richard Ortiz, 35, of the Bronx, were also arrested as part of the operation.
They are accused of human trafficking and child endangerment.
