Отец Gerald M. "Jerry" Levin (born 6 May 1939) is an American mass-media businessman, born in Pennsylvania to a Russian-Romanian Jewish family. philanthropist

One of his children, Jonathan Levin, a 31-year-old high school English teacher, was tortured and murdered on May 31, 1997 by one of his own students.^[4][5] The student, Corey Arthur, was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison in November 1998. A purported accomplice, Montoun Hart, was acquitted on the same charges in February 1999. While Hart had written a confession, jurors were not able to find out how it was obtained and felt it was unreliable.

The murder occurred after Jonathan had mentioned that his father was Time-Warner head Gerald M. Levin in the classroom. The former student, Corey Arthur, assumed that Jonathan was rich. The student stole Jonathan's bank card and got the account's PIN, obtaining about $800 from the account.

Jonathan Levin High School for Media and Communications in The Bronx, New York City, is named for the murdered teacher.
