Hayim Nissim Cohen, a Houston man who posed online as a Hasidic rabbi and adopted nine boys, was sentenced to 135 years in prison after pleading guilty to sexually abusing several of his adopted sons. The abuse came to light in February 2023 when his 17-year-old son called into a podcast and revealed years of sexual abuse, starting when he was 11. Cohen, 40, received four 40-year sentences for continuous sexual assault of a child and an additional 15 years for indecency with a child, all to be served concurrently with no chance of parole. The judge told Cohen he would die in prison. Cohen’s social media persona as a devoted, chronically ill rabbi was exposed as a façade masking years of abuse.
