Avi Dubitzky and his team caught a well know Yeshiva Student when he came to meet a minor.
The young man was expelled from the Har Hamor yeshiva in light of two complaints against him for sexual assault, one of which was from a relative of a rabbi in Jerusalem. The Ministry of Education: “The case does not fall within the scope of the cases required to be reported”
A 26-year-old expelled from the Har HaMoor Yeshiva in Jerusalem in light of two complaints against him for sexual assault was arrested yesterday (Monday) on suspicion of sexual offenses against children. Following his arrest, a rabbi in the city accused rabbis of two yeshivas where he studied, saying that they knew about his actions for a long time but did not report it to the authorities or warn the parents of the other students.
The young man, a resident of Jerusalem, was arrested on Monday in Ra’anana after meeting with Avi Dubitzky, an adult who laid a trap for suspected predators, posing as a 15-year-old boy and having conversations with him of a sexual nature on Facebook. Dubitzky arranged to meet the suspect in a garden in the city, where police officers were waiting for him and arrested him. After being questioned, he was released to house arrest. “We hope that the law enforcement authorities in Israel will work harder to expose the pedophiles who operate in the country,” Dubitzky said after the arrest.
The arrest of the young man caused an uproar on the Internet after Rabbi Shimon Or, rabbi of a community in the Kiryat Yuval neighborhood in Jerusalem, published a post on Facebook in which he wrote that the rabbis of the Har Hamor yeshiva and a previous yeshiva where he studied, ignored the suspect’s actions. Rabbi Or, head of the “Movement for a Torah Leader,” said that the suspect sexually assaulted his relative, then 17 years old, in a recognized yeshiva in Jerusalem. The minor filed a police complaint against the suspect, but it was closed due to insufficient evidence.
