Women with intellectual disabilities complain: 'Instructor at hostel committed indecent acts on us in public'

Five women with intellectual disabilities have complained that a sports instructor at a hostel in Kfar Saba committed indecent acts on them in public over a period of about two years. The court extended his detention until August 6. The police attribute special severity to the investigation due to their being helpless.

Five women with intellectual disabilities, in their 30s and 40s, have complained that a sports instructor at a hostel in Kfar Saba committed indecent acts on them in public over a period of about two years. This morning (Monday), the court extended the detention of the instructor, a resident of Netanya in his 50s, until August 6. Upon receiving the complaints, the Kfar Saba police station opened a covert investigation that lasted weeks, and only after it matured did they move to the overt stage. Yesterday, the suspect was arrested; his work at the hostel ended on July 22. The police attribute special severity to the investigation, among other things because the offenses were committed against helpless individuals within a framework that was supposed to provide them with protection, care, and security.
