CHESHIRE, Conn. (AP) A retired Connecticut rabbi has been arrested on a Virginia warrant on charges of indecent liberties with a child more than 40 years ago.

Eric Silver of Cheshire faces felony charges in Norfolk, Virginia, for the alleged incidents between 1968 and 1970.

Details weren't available.

The Record-Journal reports that an indecent liberties charge is part of Virginia's sexual offense law and covers indecent conduct with children under the age of 15. It may not involve contact or sexual acts.

Statute of limitations does not apply.

The Associated Press could not verify Thursday if the 72-year-old Silver is represented by a lawyer. He's held at the New Haven Correctional Center pending an extradition hearing.

Silver was the rabbi at Temple Beth David in Cheshire for 20 years until he retired in 2010.
