Woman 'distraught' disclosing alleged Leifer abuse

One of three sisters allegedly sexually abused by former ultra-Orthodox Jewish school principal Malka Leifer was distraught when revealing what happened to her, a court has been told.

Leifer, 56, is facing trial on 29 charges over the alleged sexual abuse of Melbourne sisters Nicole Meyer, Dassi Erlich and Elly Sapper when she was principal of the Adass Israel School in the city's eastern suburbs.

The mother of eight has pleaded not guilty and is standing trial in the Victorian County Court.
