You didn’t know when someone touches your body it was wrong. "Well done to three outstanding and inspiring women – Dassi, Nicole and Elly – who have fought through this rollercoaster.

I didn’t know what I was going to tell everyone. It has been a difficult transition, they say. Erlich and Sapper have since left the fold of the only world they had ever known. The three women seek the extradition of the headmistress whose lawyer says she's unfit to face trial.

Alleged victims of former Melbourne teacher Malka Leifer say they were staggered by the decision of an Israeli court that has found she is fit to stand trial for extradition to Australia, where she is wanted on paedophilia charges.The ruling in the Jerusalem District Court on Tuesday came after a years-long legal battle to get the ex-principal, who is accused of sexually abusing students, returned to Australia.Ms Leifer, 52, faces 74 charges of sexually assaulting female students during her time at the ultra-Orthodox Adass Israel school in Elsternwick in Melbourne's south-east.Three of her alleged victims, with former Liberal premier Ted Baillieu and local MPs Labor's Josh Burns and Liberal David Southwick addressed the media this morning.Dassi Erlich, who with her sisters Elly Sapper and Nicole Meyer have accused Ms Leifer of abuse, said they had waited for years for her to face the allegations. They were sharing a room but sleeping in separate beds. We knew she would find a loophole and play it.”As Erlich put it, “No legal system is immune to error. The girl had recognised the three women from Israeli television coverage. “Everything was taboo. The sisters allege 74 charges of rape and child abuse in total, perpetrated by Leifer during their teenage years. Any defamatory word about a family can damage the marriage prospects for the children.

"I feel so proud of us three, the strength we've shown and the resilience we've shown to achieve what we've achieved. We have been telling our story, which has been triggering our emotions.”What has made their efforts especially worthwhile, they say, is that women and girls have approached them saying they too now had the strength to come forward about their own experiences.Fried, Leifer’s lawyer, told Haaretz that no order had been given for his client to avoid interacting with children in Israel; the only restriction is that she is not allowed to leave the country. The process to extradite her has stalled several times since charges were laid in 2013.Premier Daniel Andrews met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2018, telling him the only just outcome was for Ms Leifer to face a jury of her peers.Adass Israel Girls School was ordered to pay more than $1.1 million in damages to Ms Leifer's alleged victims in 2015.In 2016, an Israeli judge found Ms Leifer mentally unfit to face extradition to Australia and she was set free.But she was arrested in February last year after an undercover police investigation revealed she was leading a "normal life" and going about normal daily activities in the Australian Attorney-General Christian Porter released a statement on Tuesday night welcoming the Israeli court's decision. Dassi Erlich; Beyond a Survivor.

"What we do know is there's a date for the extradition court ... that's set the timetable. They say that one night Leifer, apparently thinking Erlich was asleep, arrived and slipped into Meyer’s bed.

The sisters tell Haaretz about their experiences in a close-knit community back homeGrowing up in an especially cloistered ultra-Orthodox home and community in Melbourne, Australia, the three sisters were required to have their books vetted by their school or parents. Jack Rush, a Supreme Court justice for the state of Victoria, faulted the school for not looking into the pattern of Leifer pulling students out of class for meetings, and for helping arrange Leifer’s flight to Israel just hours after the accusations surfaced.In Israel, as part of the sisters’ campaign to bring Leifer to justice (they are using the hashtag #bringleiferback on social media) they have met with Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, and visited the Knesset to meet with lawmakers Michal Biran, Sharren Haskel, Nachman Shai and Merav Michaeli. They have found Mrs. Leifer has a chronic mental condition and is unfit to stand trial.”Fried added: “In a democracy it is professionals who make such assessments, not those with special interests.”Erlich won over 1 million Australian dollars in damages in a civil case against Adass Israel School in 2015. She proclaimed love, she gave us love and attention which started off with taking us out of class and giving us special attention and special duties,” Sapper said.The sisters compare the pattern of abuse they say they suffered and Leifer’s high status at their Adass Israel School to the pedophile priest scandals in the Catholic Church.The three sisters spent two weeks in Israel lobbying for Leifer’s extradition back to Australia, where she faces 74 counts of indecent assault and rape.Leifer, an Israeli citizen, fled to Israel in 2008 hours after accusations surfaced that she had abused between eight and 14 students. Although we are saying something is wrong here, we are looking for it to be fixed. We had perfect facades. They learned nothing about their own bodies or sex.But they say the kind attention they received from their charismatic headmistress at their all-girls ultra-Orthodox school “We didn’t know what our bodies even were, we didn’t have biology lessons,” said Elly Sapper, 28, the youngest of the three sisters who have accused the headmistress, Malka Leifer. We have been in meeting after meeting,” Sapper said.

"Mr Baillieu, who has been advocating on the case for 10 years, said the decision was a "very substantial move in the right direction" and a sign "the Israeli justice system has got itself back on track". Turnbull said he “It’s been a roller coaster ride. We are trying to see what we can do.”Yehuda Fried, Leifer’s lawyer, said in response: “With all due respect to what the complainants think, they are not doctors and they cannot diagnose professionally the mental health of Mrs. Leifer or anyone else. We grew up where everything was secret because we lived in an abusive house.

Dassi Erlich was sitting in a Jerusalem restaurant last month with her sisters, Elly Sapper and Nicole Meyer, inside a cavernous space dominated by funky light fittings, when an ultra-Orthodox Jewish teenager approached the table.
