According to a report, Avraham Raymond (25), an ambulance driver for Magen David Adom, was arrested on suspicion of sexual offenses against a 15-year-old boy. Police suspect Raymond met the victim on Instagram, arrived at the scene in an ambulance, and committed the offenses near the victim's home. His remand was extended by a court.
Police have identified the suspect arrested earlier today in connection with sexual offenses against a 15-year-old boy as Avraham Raymond, 25, an ambulance driver for Magen David Adom. According to investigators, Raymond met the victim on Instagram, arrived at the scene in an ambulance, and allegedly committed the offenses near the victim's home. A court extended his remand until Monday. The development follows a series of reports that progressively revealed the suspect's identity and profession.
The Zioneer first reported the arrest at 14:16 Jerusalem, based on a ynet report, noting that the suspect was a resident of Bnei Brak. Subsequent updates at the same time identified the suspect as Avraham Raymond, 25, and revealed that he had used Instagram to contact the victim, that his arrest was extended until Monday, that he was a Magen David Adom paramedic, and that MDA stated it views the case with 'great severity' and is cooperating with the investigation. These details were confirmed by police statements.
As The Zioneer has reported in similar cases involving professionals in positions of trust — such as the Haifa taxi driver case reported on June 18 — police are urging any additional victims to come forward. The investigation is ongoing.
What remains unclear is the precise nature of the alleged offenses and whether there are other victims. The court has granted a remand extension to allow further investigation.
