The State Prosecutor's Office has filed a severe indictment against 41-year-old Michael Shein of Holon, accusing him of raping a woman he met for paid sex services at a hotel in Bat Yam. According to the indictment, the two arranged the meeting via Telegram. After the woman provided the agreed-upon services and intended to leave, Shein allegedly attacked her violently. He is accused of attempting to suffocate her with a pillow when she resisted, only releasing it when she agreed to his demands. He then allegedly raped her a second time. The indictment further claims Shein stole 4,000 shekels from the woman's purse, threatened her friend who came to her aid, and deleted their Telegram communications to obstruct the investigation. The prosecution has charged him with rape, theft, threats, and obstruction of justice, requesting his detention until the proceedings conclude, citing his high dangerousness and exploitation of the victim's vulnerable state.
