The Israel Police yesterday (Wednesday) opened an investigation into the suspected rape of a young woman in the 1920s, by her mother’s partner.
The police investigation began last night at the Ashdod station, following a complaint received by the young woman, according to which her mother’s partner, who lives with them in the house, raped her a few months ago and now she regretted the decision to complain about the incident. She also reported that, according to the suspicion, when she was a minor, the suspect used to sexually harass her and perform indecent acts on her.
The suspect, a 65-year-old resident of Ashdod, was arrested last night for questioning on suspicion of crimes attributed to him, and today he will be brought before a court with a request to extend his detention.
