A teacher suspected of committing sex offenses against a 7-year-old girl continued to teach for approximately a week and a half at an additional school in a Sharon city, even after suspicions against him were known to the Ministry of Education. This was claimed by the National Parents' Leadership on Thursday. According to information received by the leadership, the teacher worked under the supervision of a chaperone at the second school, without parents being informed. The National Parents' Leadership sent a letter to the Ministry of Education demanding an investigation into who approved his continued employment, why he was not removed from all educational frameworks, and calling for changes to suspension and dismissal mechanisms for educators, which they claim hinder the system's ability to act quickly in severe cases.

The teacher, from Rosh HaAyin, was arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a student during a music lesson. He is suspected of sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl and showing her intimate pictures on his phone. His defense attorney, Ran Cohen Rochberger, stated after his arrest that the court's decision to extend his detention by only one day speaks for itself, and expressed belief that the police will also be convinced to close the case after the investigation is completed.

The municipality where the school is located, where the alleged assault occurred, stated that it is cooperating with the police and Ministry of Education supervisors, emphasizing its commitment to the safety of the city's children.
