I read most of this article. Circumcision was changed by God to the Jews. Moses nearly cost his sons their lives because they were uncircumcised. For a devout Jew, circumcision is a serious thing. Although Irish law requires that it be done by a medical practitioner, a health dept report allows for it be done by a Jewish moyel as long as it is some in a sterile manner. Per the detective, it was some in the middle of a room in a table with gloves and a gown among other things. (Typing from memory because I wasn't able to open in a separate window.)
He is a father of ten, is depended on by his elderly parents, and will likely have to wait two years for his case to go to trial.
He was released to return to his role as Rabbi of his congregation in the UK because for these reasons, among others, he is not considered a flight risk.
The idea that circumcision includes sucking a baby's penis is one that I don't know the origins of. I haven't been able to find any reliable source to validate that as a practice; although, I have looked into it.
Being an Orthodox Jew, does not automatically make one a pedophile. They have those who like those in authority in the Catholic and other Christian communities ascend to and take advantage of those positions to abuse children. This is a sad reality that must be addressed.
There are numerous voices within the Orthodox community that have been raised to work to draw attention to this issue and to provide support for victims. One that you may find of particular interest is: "Thirty-year-old Meyer Seewald... the founder of Jewish Community Watch (J.C.W.), a global advocacy organization whose website features a “Wall of Shame” listing names of those in the Jewish community whom J.C.W. has, through independent investigations, determined to be abusers."
(Perhaps some of you would like to join him in making these individuals famous.)
Another: "(A) well-known outlet for reporting abusers is a hotline and blog run by the sixty-nine-year-old Brooklyn Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg, which posts videos and photos with accusations against alleged ultra-Orthodox predators.'
There are many other organizations that provide various services and use various means to address these issues.
These two quotes were taken from the following article. It is fairly comprehensive and gives some insight into how and why the guilty unfortunately get away with what they get away with. You will need to read/scroll down a bit to find the above quotes.

These are just a few examples. I found quite a few others. To lump all Orthodox Jews together as pedophiles is to do a great disservice to the victims and their families as much as to those who truly love their children and are not of that mindset. The Rabbis are very highly respected and unfortunately wield a lot of power, not unlike the papacy and others. Not all Rabbis are evil just as not all priests are evil.
I was born into a Catholic family and am now an evangelical. It wasn't until I wrote a paper in Catholic high school about some of the history of the papacy that I began to learn about the corruption of the institution. Neither my family nor my Catholic friends and their families were aware and I've never considered any of us guilty by association.
One more thought: although there is such a thing as a peaceful Muslim, that would be a limited application of the Koran. Earlier entries in the Koran are peaceful while later ones call for violence against those who disagree. Later entries are considered to take precedence over earlier entries if there is a contradiction.
Mohammed's example has paved the way for the the abuse of children and the raping of the innocent if they are not Muslim. In Iran, if a Christian woman is arrested, is a virgin, and refuses to return to Islam, she will be raped before being executed. The reason for this that virgins are automatically granted entrance into Paradise and it would be unthinkable to allow that to an infidel. This is one of many examples.
I'm not looking to be contentious. I do seek to try to get a full picture. Ultimately, it seems to me that this is an evil that will appear in any institution where there is an authority/power structure that gives an evil person access to children or other vulnerable populations because such people will always exist. Power in general has within it the potential for both great good and great evil and will attract both types of individuals.

Take my angry updoot
Ireland's Chief Rabbi is only one letter away from: Yoni Wider! It is difficult to make this stuff up.
Judge ruled that he was not a flight risk - just don't let him near your willy!
OK, I know I need psychiatric help ...
Rules for thee…

Babies have died from circumcision.
