The State Prosecutor's Office has filed an indictment against Eliezer Eliasco, a 25-year-old resident of Beit Dagan, for alleged sex offenses against minors aged 10 to 13 through social media. According to the indictment, filed by prosecutor Tal Zisso Avni, Eliasco allegedly contacted four minors via TikTok and WhatsApp, using various usernames and sometimes impersonating a teenage girl. During these communications, he referred to the minors with endearments such as "my life," "my heart," and "my love." The indictment further claims Eliasco sent the minors sexual images of himself or others and asked them to photograph their genitals and send them to him, sometimes instructing them on what to photograph and how to send the material. In one instance, Eliasco allegedly impersonated a 14-year-old girl named "Yuval" to gain a minor's cooperation. Even when some minors refused to send intimate photos, citing embarrassment, he reportedly continued to plead and try to persuade them. Some minors did not comply, while others sent him sexual images they found online. Eliasco is charged with offenses including indecent acts with a minor under 16 without consent, attempted indecent acts with a minor by deception, and other offenses. The prosecution has requested that Eliasco be held in custody until the legal proceedings are concluded.
