(AP) - The rabbi of an all-boys Orthodox school, who was charged with sexually abusing two students, is accused of fondling a third.

The attorney also criticized the high bail set by the judge, $50,000 bond or $25,000 cash.The rabbi's wife posted the cash bail and Kolko was freed Wednesday. Kolko had already been free on $5,000 bail.
He's awaiting trial on charges he sexually abused two other young students, one decades ago and one more recently.
