A Melbourne woman who is an alleged victim of accused paedophile Malka Leifer has expressed her relief after the former school principal failed to block her extradition from Israel to Australia.
Three Melbourne sisters - Dassi Erlich, Nicole Meyer, and Elly Sapper - who have filed police reports about Leifer were pleased with the news. It is incredible to reach this point after so many years, Ms Erlich told AAP. A decision that we dreamed of happening and never gave up hope. We await the justice minister s signature and facing Malka Leifer in court in Australia.
All three sisters are alleged victims of Leifer, a former Melbourne school principal who has been accused of 74 charges of child sexual abuse.

Dutch prosecutors say a man had cracked US President Donald Trump’s Twitter account in October, despite denials from Washington and the company, but adds that the so-called “ethical hacker” would not face charges.
The man, named as Victor Gevers in Dutch media, reportedly hacked into Trump’s account @realDonaldTrump by guessing his password on October 16, Dutch media reports say.
Both the White House and Twitter have strenuously denied reports that the account had been hacked.
Gevers, 44, disclosed the hack immediately, saying the password he guessed was “maga2020!” referring to the Trump slogan, “Make America Great Again.”
“We believe the hacker has actually penetrated Trump’s Twitter account, but has met the criteria that have been developed in case law to go free as an ethical hacker,” the public prosecutor’s office (OM) says.

Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn announced Wednesday that he had signed an extradition order for Malka Leifer, the final step in an over-six-year-long legal battle to send the accused child sex abuser back to Australia.
“After many years, after a shameful attempt to present herself as mentally ill, and in light of the Supreme Court ruling, it is our moral obligation to allow for Leifer to stand trial,” tweeted Nissenkorn after signing the order.
