Menachem M. Weiss, 46, who is married and works as a teacher, was taken into custody by Port Authority police and brought to Bergen County on Thursday, Acting Prosecutor Dennis Calo said.
Last December, Woodcliff Lake police "received formation that a juvenile male was sexually assaulted by Rabbi Menachem Weiss between January and June 1999, while Rabbi Weiss resided in Woodcliff Lake," Calo said.
An investigation produced a grand jury indictment returned Tuesday charging Weiss with two counts of aggravated sexual assault of the boy, who records show was in his mid teens.
Weiss remained held in the Bergen County Jail pending a hearing this Monday.
