An indictment was filed Tuesday against a 16-year-old Be'er Sheva resident for the attempted rape of a woman on the Netivot boardwalk, Channel 12 (N12) reports. According to the indictment, the suspect followed the complainant, then attacked her from behind, dragged her into bushes, assaulted her, and tried to force her to perform a sexual act. The woman fought back, managed to break free from his grip, and refused his repeated demands. The suspect then struck her again, causing injuries and breaking her sunglasses, before fleeing the scene. The case adds to a series of recent sexual assault indictments reported in southern and central Israel; the Zioneer has previously covered other cases including the indictment of a minor for the assault and robbery of an elderly woman in Haifa. The suspect's name was not released due to his age.
