A teacher at a Tel Aviv high school was arrested Thursday morning on suspicion of raping a 12-year-old student, according to a report. The police announced the arrest, but the teacher's name has not been released. Fellow students have come to the teacher's defense, claiming in classroom group chats that the student was obsessed with him and that the relationship was consensual. Under Israeli law, sexual intercourse with a minor under 14 is considered rape regardless of consent, according to the report. The Zioneer has reported on other teacher arrests in recent weeks, including a math teacher in Lod and another case in Tel Aviv, which are separate incidents.
