Accused general slated to release apology letter, admit guilt
Ofek Buchris, a brigadier general accused of raping and sexually assaulting two women serving under him, is expected to release a statement in the coming hours admitting some guilt and apologizing to his accusers.
The statement will come as part of an agreement reached with the military prosecution, which is expected to punish Buchris by demoting him and entailing a suspended prison sentence, but no actual jail time.
According to the Walla news website, the letter will be released along with Buchris’s lawyer and will be “laconic and short.”
