An Israeli police officer from the Lev Tel Aviv station faces charges of unlawful arrest and sexual misconduct. The Police Investigations Department (MAHAש) filed an indictment against the officer in the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court. The charges stem from an incident on the night of June 10, 2025, when the officer responded to a call at a foreign national's apartment in Tel Aviv. Without legal grounds, he allegedly handcuffed the woman and took her to the station, where she was held for several hours without interrogation. Before releasing her, the officer reportedly gave her his phone number, intending to pursue a sexual relationship. He then followed her home on a scooter and visited her apartment three more times, including during work hours. A sexual act occurred during one of these visits. Subsequently, the woman asked the officer for help collecting a debt from a friend. Prosecutors allege he implied he would only assist in exchange for further sexual relations, leaving angrily when she refused. In another instance, he allegedly used his position to illegally obtain information about the arrest of her acquaintance and shared details of the suspicions against him with her. The officer is charged with abuse of power, fraud, and breach of public trust. The investigation was conducted by the Tel Aviv branch of MAHAש.
