After pleading guilty more than 25 years ago in an infamous child sex abuse case, then saying the admissions were forced, Jesse Friedman has filed a motion asserting his “actual innocence” and blasting a recent Nassau County District Attorney review that refused to upset his conviction.
Insisting Friedman never abused the students who took computer classes in his parent’s Great Neck home in the 1980s, his defense pushed for a hearing, saying Nassau County prosecutors “have done everything possible to usurp the role of the court as the fundamental arbiter of justice”
