Ohad Nagar Reoffended: Israeli Officer Re-Arrested
Ohad Nagar reoffended after probation, reigniting public outrage over child protection failures in Israeli law enforcement. His return to criminal activity after serving his sentence exposed continued flaws in rehabilitation and monitoring systems.
Background: Who is Ohad Nagar?
Ohad (Gil) Nagar, born in 1978 and a former Israeli police officer stationed in the Cave of the Patriarchs unit, was charged with multiple sexual offenses involving minors he met online. He used fake identities in chat rooms, posed as a younger man, and initiated conversations with individuals he believed were underage. His actions went unnoticed for years, reflecting deep systemic gaps.
How Ohad Nagar Reoffended After Probation
After serving his sentence and being placed on probation, Nagar was caught again engaging in similar behavior. He reentered chat rooms, contacted minors, and arranged meetings. This recurring behavior raised concerns over the leniency of his initial punishment and the effectiveness of post-release supervision.
The Evidence Behind the Rearrest
Avi Dubitzky, posing as a 14-year-old boy, communicated with Nagar online. Nagar arranged a meeting and was met by Dubitzky and police officers. During his arrest, Nagar attempted to hide his phone and claimed he was on duty. Digital records showed explicit chats, photo requests, and efforts to erase conversations. This sting operation added decisive proof to the case.
Legal Proceedings and Public Reaction
Ohad Nagar admitted to parts of the charges. He claimed ignorance of the victims’ ages and argued the relationships were consensual. These claims were dismissed by prosecutors. His reoffending only intensified criticism of the justice system, and many called for stricter post-conviction monitoring.
