A 25-year-old man from Beit Dagan has been indicted for committing sex offenses against minors after contacting them through TikTok and WhatsApp. The indictment states that Eliezer Eliasco used various usernames and sometimes impersonated a minor to approach four underage individuals. In some instances, he instructed the minors on what to photograph and how to send him the requested material. To gain their cooperation, he once posed as a 14-year-old girl named "Yuval." Even when the minors expressed shame and refused to send intimate photos, he pleaded with them, attempting to persuade them to comply with his desires by exploiting the online space. Some minors did not fulfill his requests, while others sent him sexual images they found online. The indictment charges Eliasco with indecent acts against a minor under 16 without consent, attempted indecent acts by fraud, and other offenses. The prosecution has requested that the court order his detention until the legal proceedings conclude, citing the circumstances of the acts, the number of victims, their minor status, and the need to protect other minors from online dangers.
