Singer Yolen Cohen was confronted yesterday with the young woman who accused him of rape. Police sources say Cohen denied some of the suspicions during questioning but admitted to parts of them during the confrontation, according to N12. The alleged victim was reportedly under the influence of drugs and alcohol at Cohen's initiative; Cohen told investigators he did not know whether she was conscious during the sexual act.
A significant development emerged overnight in the case against singer Yolen Cohen, who is also the prime suspect in a separate bombing assassination investigation. According to N12, police conducted a confrontation between Cohen and the young woman who accuses him of rape yesterday. While Cohen denied some of the suspicions during initial questioning, he admitted to parts of them during the confrontation itself.
Police sources told the broadcaster that, according to the allegation, Cohen initiated the use of drugs and alcohol by the complainant. Cohen reportedly told investigators that he did not know whether she was conscious during the sexual act. The admission during the confrontation marks a shift in the investigation, which had previously featured only denials.
As The Zioneer reported on Sunday, a police hearing on extending Cohen's remand for the separate bombing case was scheduled for 14:00. The current investigation into the rape allegation is separate from the assassination case. A nationalist motive in the bombing case was ruled out, according to an earlier investigation.
