01 · THE DISPATCH

An Ashkelon plumber who allegedly sexually assaulted a woman during a routine home service call was indicted Monday on charges of indecent acts, journalist Daniel Amram reported. According to the indictment, the woman invited the plumber to her apartment for a repair; he allegedly began touching her and making unwanted advances, telling her 'my touch is a blessing.' The victim called her husband during the incident, who listened but told her to hang up. When the husband arrived at the apartment, the plumber fled, leaving his tools and an open toilet behind. The indictment was filed without the suspect's prior knowledge, and he has not yet responded to the charges. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of ten years. The case has drawn attention as the suspect reportedly remains professionally active in southern Israel; the reporting team noted they had even contacted him earlier Monday to verify his availability.
