Police in Kfar Saba arrested a teacher from Rosh Ha'ayin on Tuesday, November 10, on suspicion of sexual offenses against a 7-year-old student. The suspect, aged 30-40, is the son of a well-known Israeli actor and director. A court has prohibited the publication of his name, photograph, or any identifying details, Ynet reported on November 11. Police requested a six-day extension of his detention, but the Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court ordered him held for only 24 hours. He has no prior criminal record. At the hearing, Veronika Weinberg, a representative of the investigative unit, stated that the complaint was filed ten days prior. The girl has already given testimony to a child specialist. Weinberg confirmed the suspect is a school teacher and that the allegation involves an "indecent act." While currently there is one complainant, investigators aim to determine if there are other victims. Police acknowledged that other children were present in the classroom during the alleged incident. The suspect's lawyer, Ran Cohen, indicated that the girl also mentioned receiving an intimate photo message on the teacher's phone during class. Cohen stated his client voluntarily surrendered his phone for examination, and he believes the absence of such a message would cast doubt on the girl's account. Police stated these claims would be investigated. Judge Dan Bauman, extending the detention for 24 hours, issued the gag order, citing the sensitive nature of the case.
