New York State Police arrested Rabbi Peter Schaktman of New Hartford during an Aug. 27 sting in Onondaga County, where he communicated with an undercover officer posing as a 14-year-old and arrived for a meeting. He was one of eight men charged with second-degree attempted rape; no real children were involved. Temple Emanu-El in Utica suspended him immediately after expressing shock, and he pleaded not guilty while held on $1 million bond. Streamers like YeoAK shared confrontation videos, drawing reactions that highlighted his role as the only rabbi among those arrested.
