About a week and a half ago, police announced that they were investigating Moshe Saada, a 65-year-old Safed resident, on suspicion of committing sex offenses against minors. Saada, who is employed as a teacher, was arrested on May 19 after police received several complaints from victims who allegedly were harmed by him.
