A parent of a 16-year-old seminary student filed a complaint with police over the past month in reference to a Chareidie man committing serious acts on his daughter and friends.
It is suspected that the suspect was waiting for 16-year-old girls at a school in Bnei Brak to carry out prohibited and serious acts, prohibited by Torah and state law.
Upon receiving the report, police investigators opened an investigation that led over the weekend to identifying and detaining a suspect in the act.
The suspect, a 65-year-old resident of Bnei Brak, was interrogated and imprisoned at the end of his investigation. At the weekend, at the request of the police, his arrest was extended in a Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court until tomorrow (Monday).
The details that came to the blog "Chadrei Chadrim" indicate that about a month ago, a similar complaint was filed against the suspect, and about eight months ago, he committed a similar offense.
"This is a dangerous suspect and suspected of being a serial offender," the police representative said at a hearing in Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court on Friday.
"These are a considerable number of complaints against the suspect and also a large number of victims, who we fear have not filed a complaint with the police," he added, asking to extend his detention for five days.
The suspect's attorney, Adv. Yechiel Weinroth, argued that he should be released under supervised detention, adding that the suspect was already undergoing a psychiatric examination, as part of the indictments filed against him in similar offenses.
Recently, the suspect was sent to the Crimson Institute for rehab, Attorney Weinroth's attorney said, adding, "He took these treatments. He is in the process. ”He said there was a mistake in his judgment when they thought he could go alone to all sorts of places without close supervision.
Judge Hannah Klugman said at the end of the hearing, "I found there was a reasonable suspicion that the suspect was involved in the offense attributed to him," and, as stated, extended his detention by four days to noon Monday.
