01 · THE DISPATCH

An Israeli court sentenced a woman to 8.5 years in prison for sexually abusing her minor stepson over a period of more than four years, starting when the child was 11.5 years old. The conviction, on charges including severe sexual offenses, violence, and obstruction of justice, was based on a plea agreement, media reports indicate. The case stands as a rare instance in which a woman was convicted of prolonged sexual offenses against a child. The court's full ruling and the identity of the defendant have not been released. The sentence comes against a background of similar cases, including a previous Jerusalem District Court sentencing of a man to 12.5 years for abusing a minor relative, as The Zioneer reported.
