The ultra-Orthodox society has not yet recovered from the death of the writer Haim Velder following the publications against him, and this morning (Tuesday) a news item is published that could shake the entire ultra-Orthodox public again. Evidence that reached Yedioth Ahronoth allegedly indicates that a famous radio broadcaster sexually assaulted and raped three girls.
One of the victims was only 15 years old when the broadcaster allegedly sexually assaulted her, the complainant said that she served as a babysitter for the broadcaster’s children and he took advantage of the awe and respect she had towards him until he started sexually harming her, “I was an independent girl, but very innocent, he would send me messages “Hey, Mami, how beautiful are you, can I start with you?” , She added.
The victim described the dire consequences, ‘The physical pain I experienced trying to have a relationship with my husband could not be explained. On the mental level I have not yet been healed. People have no idea what a few minutes can do to a person. This scar will accompany me for the rest of my life. “
Other victims said that the broadcaster would harass them with sexual text messages and touch them against their will on various occasions. One of the complainants claims that she was only 12 years old when the broadcaster started sexually harassing her, “his wife invited me to babysit and stay with them because they came back late from the wedding. I remember that at three in the morning I got up to the kitchen to drink water. Suddenly he grabbed me from behind.”
Advocate Ariel Atari, who represents the ultra-Orthodox broadcaster, told Yedioth: “Despite our requests for details of the mysterious ‘complainants’, you preferred the publication of the ‘splash’ over the clarification of the truth. Thus you have prevented us from showing that these are false complaints and fabricated evidence. The temptation to publish false information about my client is great, especially in those waters where the attribution of sexual abuse to the ultra-Orthodox is highly rated. The result is that readers were allowed to read Pike News, from beginning to end of the article, without giving the victim of the article an opportunity to show that the things said about him are a complete lie. “
