The Tel Aviv District Court has sentenced senior gynecologist Professor Menachem Alkalai to 14 years in prison after convicting him of 10 counts of fraud-related rape against nine of his patients. The victims, who ranged in age from 23 to 66 at the time of the assaults, had sought medical treatment from Alkalai, entrusting him with their care, only to be sexually victimized. The prosecution had sought a sentence of at least 17 years. The court also ordered Alkalai to pay compensation to the women. The case first came to light over four years ago through an investigation by ynet, which published testimonies from more than 35 women and led to 20 police complaints.
