Dassi Erlich on life since she and her sisters fought and won their case against abuser Malka Leifer

For nine weeks Dassi Erlich sat in a Melbourne courtroom wondering anxiously if the truth would prevail.
Then, on April 3, 2023, in a moment she describes as “absolutely terrifying”, the Victorian County Court jury finally handed down its verdict in the sexual abuse case against former Melbourne principal Malka Leifer.
It delivered Ms Erlich and her two sisters the justice they’d spent decades fighting for.
Leifer, the principal of the Adass Israel School the sisters attended, was convicted of rape and other offences, and in August last year was sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment.
“They saw that she was an abuser … It was such a confusing but such a validating moment,” Ms Erlich tells ABC RN’s Life Matters.
