Daughter of senior public figure accuses parents of sexual abuse; gag order on case
Media permitted to publicize fact of complaint, but barred from sharing further details
The daughter of a female senior public figure has filed a police complaint against her parents for sexual abuse.
An extensive gag order has been placed on the case, which, until Thursday, forbade the media from even publishing the existence of the investigation or the order itself.
Police are now allowing for the complaint to be made public, but details regarding the investigation and its suspects are still under wraps.
The order forbids Israeli media from quoting foreign outlets regarding the affair, or reaching out to them.
It also prohibits reporting on details from social networks “or any other media, including implications direct or indirect.”
Hebrew media outlets were reporting, however, that the complainant was recently abroad but has returned to Israel.
Hebrew outlets also reported that in a video posted to social media in recent days, the complainant alleged sexual abuse at the hands of her parents, and stated her intention to file a complaint with police.
Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
