A Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court ordered the release of a teacher, arrested on suspicion of committing sex offenses against a 7-year-old student, to five days of house arrest. The police announced their intention to appeal the court's decision, which also prohibited the teacher from engaging in educational activities for 45 days. Judge Oren Boaz stated that the suspicion against the teacher, who is the son of a famous actor, has intensified. He also lifted the gag order on the suspect's name, though the defense attorney requested a 24-hour stay to appeal this specific decision. Prior to the hearing, Judge Boaz requested all investigation findings from the previous day, asking the investigating unit's representative, Adv. Veronica Weinberg, to explain the basis for the extended arrest request. The pornographic image the child reported the suspect showed her has not yet been found on his mobile device. The investigation, which began recently at the Kfar Saba police station, has revealed no prior criminal record for the teacher. The local municipality stated that it views the suspicions with great severity and has been cooperating with the Ministry of Education, supervisory bodies, and the police, emphasizing their commitment to the safety of the city's children. Due to the ongoing investigation and to protect the student's privacy, further details were not provided.
