Pio ebreo “haredi” ha violentato tre sue figlie ogni giorno per cinque anni. E nessuno scandalo mediatico tipo “preti pedofili”
Three sisters from Bnei Brak reportedly underwent daily sexual abuse at the hands of their father over the past five years, it emerged on Sunday after the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court lifted a gag order on the case.
The father of 12 is accused of sexual molesting all three sisters, aged 14, 16 and 17. Two of his sons, aged 15 and 19, are suspected of helping their father carry out his alleged reign of terror by beating and threatening their sisters to prevent them from talking to police. Last week, both sons were indicted by the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court for obstructing justice.
The abuse came to light by accident during a routine drug search of an apartment in Bnei Brak about a month ago. During the raid, police found a 14-year-old girl who said she was a friend of the teenage suspect who lived in the house.
Police said the girl was acting strange and during questioning admitted that she had run away from home months earlier, following repeated sexual abuse by her father. A number of the sexual assaults reportedly took place in a hotel room in south Tel Aviv that the father would allegedly rent in order to carry out the assaults.
Shortly after his daughter made the allegation to police, investigators called the father in for questioning, but he did not respond and was nowhere to be found. Last week, Jerusalem police managed to find the father, in an apartment in the Mea She’arim neighborhood where he had been hiding.
Police said that after the father was called for a police investigation the two brothers tried to track down their sister in order to beat her and stop her from testifying. They also reportedly went to her friend’s house and beat and threatened her, demanding she tell them their sister’s whereabouts.
On Sunday, the father’s remand was extended by three days. Police say they expect an indictment to be issued against him this week.
