Jerusalem Father Arrested for Alleged Sexual Abuse of Daughter; Mother Detained
Jerusalem police have launched an investigation into allegations of sexual offenses against a minor by her father. The probe, conducted in cooperation with child investigators and welfare authorities, centers on suspicions that the father abused his daughter while the mother was aware of the situation and failed to report it.
Both parents have been arrested. The father is suspected of committing the sexual offenses, while the mother is accused of knowing about the abuse and neglecting her legal duty to report.
The suspects appeared before the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court on Tuesday. The father's detention was extended by six days, until September 8, 2026. The mother was released under restrictive conditions, including a restraining order and a prohibition on contacting her daughters until the same date.
