A Brooklyn rabbi at a private Yeshiva is arrested on sex abuse charges.

Police say Yoel Malik, 33, allegedly molested four male teenagers, three of them between the ages of 15 and 16.

Malik was taken into custody Wednesday after police say he may have brought one of the students from his Borough Park school to a Fort Greene motel for sex.

Investigators say one encounter was reported in a car.

The allegations arose through an anonymous tip to a confidential hotline.

Malik faces multiple charges including sexual abuse and forcible touching.

Officials say the alleged encounters took place as far back as last March and as recent as last week.
