Last week, Sapper and her sisters Nicole Meyer, 32, and Dassi Erlich, 30, spoke with Haaretz in Tel Aviv about the abuse they say took place between about 2001 and 2008.

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. We trusted her [Leifer]. “We didn’t have the words to warn her that it was dangerous and not good to be connected to her,” Meyer said.Meanwhile, Sapper says that even if her sisters had warned her, she would not have heeded their advice. Their parents have denied their daughters’ allegations and have cut off ties with them and their four other children as well, Meyer said.Speaking about abusers in general, Sapper said “they target kids seeking love and attention. “Everything was taboo. They say that one night Leifer, apparently thinking Erlich was asleep, arrived and slipped into Meyer’s bed. “Everyone sharing our frustrations and wanting to get closure for the case. "It's taken us all night for this process to just sink in. "If we think about where we’ve come from in this issue in the last 12 years, it’s quite extraordinary. Dassi Erlich; Beyond a Survivor. "Well done to three outstanding and inspiring women – Dassi, Nicole and Elly – who have fought through this rollercoaster. She couldn’t have imagined it because so much of what the rest of us take for granted was hidden from her by her parents and the other adults around her. "Whilst today’s decision can be appealed, it is a positive sign and means that formal extradition proceedings can now lawfully commence, subject to any orders relevant to any possible appeal," Mr Porter said.Leifer's lawyers had challenged a finding by a psychiatric panel that she was fit to stand trial.Her accusers expect the latest decision to clear the way for a quick extradition to Australia.Mr Burns said justice was finally arriving for the victims in Australia.

They have also met with Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky. It has been a difficult transition, they say. Erlich and Sapper have since left the fold of the only world they had ever known. "I feel so proud of us three, the strength we've shown and the resilience we've shown to achieve what we've achieved. “She is incredibly manipulative; we know she’s smart. Image: Australian Story. 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.
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. The three women seek the extradition of the headmistress whose lawyer says she's unfit to face trial. "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".

We grew up where everything was secret because we lived in an abusive house. 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. We have been in meeting after meeting,” Sapper said. 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. Dassi Erlich was raised in Melbourne’s small and strict Adass Jewish community. Dassi told Fairfax she personally knows of eight other alleged victims, and believes there are up to 15. The enormity of this decision is just staggering," Ms Erlich said. You didn’t know when someone touches your body it was wrong.

Although we are saying something is wrong here, we are looking for it to be fixed. "Ms Sapper said it felt surreal to hear the words "Malka Leifer is fit to stand trial".
