Prosecutors have filed an indictment against Adam Yassin, a resident of East Jerusalem in his 40s, for stalking a woman, entering her home with intent to rape, and then committing indecent acts and rape against her while she was in a state preventing resistance. Yassin is a sex offender under supervision by the Tzur unit and has 18 previous convictions for sex offenses, including indecent acts against a minor in Jerusalem. The indictment charges Yassin with entering a residence with intent to commit a crime, indecent acts, rape (exploiting a state preventing resistance), theft, and violating a supervision order. This is because the defendant was subject to supervision orders under the law for the protection of the public from sex offenses. Approximately two weeks after the initial incident, Yassin allegedly re-entered the victim's home with the intent to rape her, committed an indecent act, and was then driven out by the victim. Additionally, he possessed pornographic material and videos of women he filmed in public on his mobile device. The victim's lawyer, Sigal Urbach-Solomon of the Legal Aid department at the Ministry of Justice, stated that her client was a victim of a convicted sex offender on two separate occasions while he was under the supervision of the Prison Service. She added that they would seek answers from those who were supposed to prevent such acts and provide protection. The lawyer urged victims of sexual assault not to fear reporting to the police and called for the full prosecution of the defendant.
