A bar mitzvah tutor from the Flatbush section of Brooklyn is facing charges that he sexually abused four boys, the Brooklyn district attorney, Charles Hynes, said yesterday in a statement. The tutor, Yona Weinberg, 29, was initially arrested two weeks ago. Some, but not all, of the boys Mr. Weinberg is alleged to have abused were his students, Mr. Hynes said.
