A court has extended the remand of Albert Yishmailov, a taxi driver from the Kiryat area near Haifa suspected of raping a 16-year-old, until Thursday, according to N12. In a development that deepens the case, two more alleged victims have come forward since the previous hearing, bringing the total number of complainants to six. The investigation, which began with the rape complaint, has expanded as more women report similar allegations. The suspect remains in custody as police continue to seek additional potential victims. The Zioneer has previously reported on earlier stages of the case, including the initial arrest, a second alleged victim who says she filed a complaint in 2021 that was closed without locating the driver, and the mother of the teen giving an interview disputing defense claims of consent.
