A new scandal is rocking Israeli soccer after a top-league player was accused of sexually harassing his team's masseur. The masseur, who has broken his silence, recounted the alleged incident to Channel 12 News, describing it as a deeply difficult and complex period for him.
According to the masseur, he was invited to the player's home to provide treatment. He stated that the player requested the session take place in a small room, but the masseur insisted on the living room and asked the player to remain covered. The masseur claims the player removed his boxer shorts, which he initially didn't attribute significance to.
Following the treatment, the masseur alleges the player pulled back the blanket, groaned, touched his genitals, and asked the masseur if he liked it. The masseur reported feeling frozen and confused, prioritizing leaving the premises quickly. The player later sent a text message apologizing, saying, "I'm sorry, hope you're not angry, I'm sorry."
The masseur described experiencing days of anxiety and insomnia, requiring medical attention. He expressed his distress over the incident, stating, "He needs to be ashamed," and questioning the nature of the player's alleged sexual joke directed at a professional therapist providing a home visit.
