Beitar Jerusalem owner Moshe Hogeg has been released to house arrest after nearly a month in prison, Hebrew-language media reports.
Hogeg and seven others were arrested on suspicion of involvement in a large fraud related to cryptocurrency investments.
According to court documents, Hogeg is suspected of 21 offenses, including money laundering, theft, and fraud, as well as a number of sex crimes including trafficking and underage prostitution offenses.
Last month, a well-known model said that Hogeg sexually assaulted her years ago, when she was 17. Channel 13 cited the model saying Hogeg entered her hotel room and tried to force himself on her, but she managed to fend him off. Hogeg denied the accusation and said the sexual interaction was consensual, adding that he had taken a lie detector test confirming his version.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
