A 35-year-old teacher from Rosh HaAyin, identified as Michael Weingarten, has been arrested on suspicion of committing indecent acts against a 7-year-old student. The alleged incidents occurred during a lesson in the classroom. Weingarten, who teaches one day a week in Kfar Saba, is suspected of three separate offenses.
The student reported the incident to her mother, who subsequently filed a police complaint last Sunday. The child's testimony, given to a child investigator, was described as "authentic." Weingarten has cooperated with investigators, voluntarily providing his mobile phone and its access code.
Following the publication of the case, it emerged that the education administration may have received a prior complaint about Weingarten concerning his previous employment at another school. Investigators are examining whether that complaint was properly escalated.
Weingarten is the son of actor Itzik Weingarten. His arrest occurred earlier this week, and a court extended his detention.
