A sports teacher at a hostel in Kfar Saba denied allegations of sexual offenses against several female residents, claiming he was providing physical assistance during the lesson, according to i24NEWS. The court extended the suspect's remand; reports conflict on the duration — some sources say three days, others five days, while i24NEWS reported the extension lasts until Thursday.
A sports teacher at a hostel in Kfar Saba, a Netanya resident in his 50s, was arrested on suspicion of committing sexual offenses against female residents in their 30s and 40s. The allegations span approximately two years of his employment, which ended last month, according to police.
Police opened a covert investigation weeks ago after receiving a complaint. The suspect was arrested at the end of the probe. On Monday, his remand was extended by a court. Reports on the length of the extension are conflicting: N12 and other sources reported three days, another source reported five days, and i24NEWS reported that the remand was extended until Thursday.
In a statement reported by i24NEWS, the suspect denied the allegations, claiming he was providing physical assistance to the residents during sports lessons. The investigation is ongoing.
