Menachem Tewel, 32, commonly known as Mendel Tevel, was released
from prison today on good behavior after serving less than seven months
of a one year sentence.
Tevel was arrested in Beverly Hills, Calif. and extradited to
Brooklyn, New York in October 2013 after a warrant was issued for his
arrest for several counts of criminal sex acts with minors. In April of
2015, Tevel agreed to a plea bargain with the Brooklyn District
Attorney’s Office, stipulating he plead guilty to only two counts for
criminal sexual acts in the third degree, which under New York penal law
constitutes anal or oral sex with a minor under the age of 17 while the
defendant is over the age of 21. The Kings County court sentenced him
to a one-year imprisonment term on June 8 2015.
As a result of the conviction, Tevel is required to register as a sex
offender within 10 days of his release. In the event that he returns to
California, he will be required to register there as well.
