A complaint filed by a mother from Eilat about threats to publish intimate photos of her son led police investigators to uncover a serious child sex offenses affair. An 18-year-old youth was indicted for sex offenses and extortion by threats, after it was discovered that he had harmed 13 minors aged seven to 14. The investigation, conducted by a team of investigators from the Eilat station, included an examination of the suspect's phone, which contained sexual correspondence with the minors via TikTok and WhatsApp. The investigators described extremely difficult content, including acts of rape and systematic sexual exploitation. The youth, who initially denied involvement, began cooperating after evidence was gathered against him. The indictment includes ten different sexual offenses, including indecent acts under aggravating circumstances, extortion by threats of a sexual nature, and possession of obscene publications featuring minors. The affair lasted about six months, and the investigators noted that they had not encountered such a complex case in the field of child sex offenses.
