Michael Weingarten, a teacher and son of actor Itzik Weingarten, was arrested this week on suspicion of sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl in central Israel. A court in Petah Tikva ordered Weingarten released to house arrest for five days on Wednesday. The arrest followed an investigation by Kfar Saba police after a complaint was filed 10 days prior. Police stated that the child has given testimony to a child investigator and that the investigation is seeking to determine if there are other complainants, as other children were present in the classroom during the alleged incident. Weingarten's defense attorney, Ran Cohen, suggested the accusation stemmed from the complainant's claim that Weingarten received an intimate photo on his phone during class. Police confirmed this was presented to him during questioning.
