A Jerusalem bus driver, Shi Shtrit, has been convicted of sexually assaulting a special education student. The prosecution presented evidence supporting the victim's testimony, including forensic findings, communications with a friend near the time of the incidents, and conversations with ChatGPT where she recounted her experience. Prosecutors also highlighted significant contradictions in Shtrit's statements throughout the investigation and legal proceedings, particularly regarding the nature of his contact with the complainant.

During a search of Shtrit's home, authorities discovered approximately 238 grams of a drug known as "Doctor" and about 19.7 grams of cocaine, along with scales and other drug paraphernalia. The court accepted the prosecution's position and found Shtrit guilty of all charges.

The court ruled that it fully accepted the complainant's testimony without hesitation, noting that her recent communications corroborated her credibility. Conversely, the court rejected Shtrit's account, characterizing him as a manipulative individual who provided contradictory and false statements. Shtrit was convicted of two counts of unlawful penetration, inducing a minor to use dangerous drugs, possessing drugs not for personal consumption, and possessing drug-use paraphernalia.
