Man Charged with Raping Teenager After Meeting Online in Jerusalem

The Jerusalem District Prosecutor's Office has filed an indictment against 19-year-old Natanel Toledano for severe sexual offenses against a 17-year-old girl he met online. According to the indictment, a week after they connected, Toledano suggested they meet, and the girl agreed. The two met early in the morning in Jerusalem and later went to an apartment Toledano had rented for a few hours in the Talpiot neighborhood. There, after they consumed alcohol, Toledano allegedly touched the complainant without her consent and despite her resistance.

The indictment charges Toledano with five counts of rape, attempted rape, and indecent assault.
