Accuser says she accepts plea bargain for Buchris

One of the officers who accused Brig. Gen. Ofek Buchris of sexual assault says she accepts the note released by him in which he takes responsibility for his actions, her lawyer says.

“The admission is full, he took full responsibility, and whoever says otherwise should be renounced,” the lawyer says, according to Ynet. “Given the letter of Brig. Gen. Buchris, the officer accepts the plea bargain.”

The plea bargain will see Buchris charged with the lesser crime of improper relations with a subordinate, for which he will receive a demotion but no jail time.

Earlier reports had indicated the accuser had wanted to put the affair behind her.
