TL;DR

The new charges expand a criminal case that has grown through successive complaints, as reported by Ynet.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Prosecutors filed a new indictment Sunday against Yevgeni Yordanov, the Israeli gymnastics coach already charged with multiple sex offenses against minors, alleging he committed indecent acts against two additional young female gymnasts. The new charges, reported by Ynet, follow a series of complaints that have widened the case since Yordanov was first arrested. In late June, police re-arrested him after a new complaint by a young woman alleging serious sex offenses; his remand was extended. The earlier June indictment, as The Zioneer reported, accused him of multiple sex crimes against two minors under 16, including extortion by threats. The cumulative allegations now involve at least four alleged victims, all coached by Yordanov.
