Tel Aiv - An ultra-Orthodox Jewish man, who counselled young engaged and married couples on sexual relations, was convicted of rape yesterday. Five young women had accused Yitzhak Feder (27) of rape, saying he assaulted them under the pretext of teaching them sexual practices that were in conformity with Jewish law.

Feder, who lived in the Tel Aviv suburb of Bnei Brak, had presented himself to the women as a representative of "the association for sexual purity".
