Tel Aviv - A former Australian school principal accused of sexually assaulting students was extradited to Australia on Monday under an order from Israel's Supreme Court, her lawyer said.
Wanted by Australian police on 74 sexual assault charges, including rape, involving girls at her former school, Leifer, who also holds Israeli citizenship, fled Australia in 2008 after the accusations surfaced. A spokesman for Australian Attorney-General Christian Porter said that the Australian government"does not comment on logistics involving extradition arrangements against individuals until the extradition process has been concluded".
