Shein is accused of raping, beating, and robbing a woman he met for paid sexual services. According to the indictment, Shein contacted the woman via Telegram to arrange for sexual services, and they met at a mini-hotel in Bat Yam. After the services were rendered and the woman was preparing to leave, Shein allegedly attacked and raped her. The woman resisted and bit her attacker, prompting Shein to attempt to suffocate her with a pillow until she agreed to comply. He then allegedly raped her again despite her continued resistance.
