Another cover-up? The Jerusalem District Police arrested a 50-year-old haredi man Wednesday for alleged sexual assault against several boys and girls whose families he befriended.
The police claim that the suspect, a divorcee and father of three, admitted to his involvement in the acts and is cooperating with the investigation. He said he assaulted several boys and girls, ages 10-14.
The investigation has shown that these instances were known to several sources within the haredi community, and the suspect said that over the course of the year, he was privately treated with medication that was supposed to lessen his sexual urges. Police believe the treatments were funded by haredi sources in order to prevent the filing of a complaint with the police. The doctor and the source that funded the treatment will be interrogated.
