Israel on Monday extradited Malka Leifer, a former teacher wanted on child sex abuse charges, to Australia after a six-year legal battle.

Leifer faces as many as 74 abuse charges that she allegedly committed while teaching in Melbourne.

She is accused of abusing three sisters during her time as headmistress of Elsternwick's Adass Israel School between 2001 and 2008.

The Israeli-born teacher left Australia in 2008 when the accusations first began to surface.

She maintains her innocence and has been fighting her extradition since 2014.

One of her accusers took to Twitter on Monday to respond to the news.
