A 42-year-old convicted sex offender from East Jerusalem has been arrested on suspicion of stalking a young woman in her 20s, breaking into her Tel Aviv apartment, and committing severe sexual offenses. Authorities allege that after the initial assault, he stole her apartment keys and returned two weeks later. The prosecution has filed a statement of intent to indict him. The suspect, who is under the supervision of the "Tzur" unit for monitoring sex offenders, reportedly followed the woman from a nightclub near her home. He allegedly broke into her bedroom and raped her, then fled with her apartment keys. Approximately two weeks later, he is accused of returning to the apartment using the stolen keys, attempting to touch her, and photographing her inside. The investigation by Jaffa police included witness testimonies, forensic analysis, and technological evidence. Police located and arrested the suspect late last month under a court order. His phone reportedly contained evidence linking him to the alleged acts. The suspect has a lengthy criminal record, including convictions for sex offenses and drugs, despite being under supervision. Previous convictions include molesting a child in 2006, a sex offense against a patient in 2012 while under supervision, and assaulting a minor in 2022. He also has prior drug convictions. Following the investigation's conclusion, the Tel Aviv District Prosecution filed a statement of intent to indict. His remand has been extended until Thursday, with an indictment and a request for continued detention expected soon.
