Brooklyn District Attorney-Elect Kenneth Thompson has asked outgoing District Attorney Charles Hynes to put the brakes on his handling of a high-profile sex abuse case in the waning days of his administration.
A court conference was scheduled for Nov. 19 in the case of Baruch Lebovits, an Orthodox Jewish cantor accused of molesting a teenage boy. But in a Nov. 15 letter, Thompson asked that the case be put over until after he takes office in January 2014 and “that no procedural or substantive steps be taken in the case until I take office.”
