Israeli prosecutors have filed an indictment against a 70-year-old licensed nurse from northern Israel. The indictment, submitted to the Magistrate Court in Acre, accuses the nurse of committing indecent acts against a patient he was treating as part of a home psychiatric care program. According to the indictment, the nurse visited patients in their homes to monitor their health and assess their psychological state.
Investigators allege that the nurse instructed the patient to ensure no family members were present during treatment sessions, claiming their presence interfered with the therapy. During one visit, the indictment states, he committed indecent acts against her without her free consent, falsely asserting they were part of a medical treatment to alleviate her pain.
The prosecution has charged the nurse with two counts of indecent acts. Prosecutor Avivit Kapada from the Haifa District Prosecutor's Office drafted the indictment. Lawyer Mona Abu Younis Khatib, representing the victim through the Legal Aid department of the Ministry of Justice, stated that the indictment sends a clear message against abusing professional authority to harm patients. She emphasized the importance of encouraging victims to report such incidents and holding perpetrators accountable under the law.
